I understand your point. Maybe the word "special" is doing too much work: we have different classes of crime, why not different classes of victim?

Moreover, if the usual penalties for assault do not deter crimes against sports officials (or others - the Ohio bill included, strangely, just sports officials and health care workers), then perhaps a greater deterrent is needed.
