Omission problem
The passage below I met from a website as follows:
http://blog.naver.com/PostView.nhn?blogId=freewind123&logNo=10161512863
Norms do exist in sports worlds, but when athletes and others push normative limits, responses are often different than they would be in other settings. Engaging in extreme behaviors that risk health and well-being and inflict pain and injury on others is not as quickly condemned in sports as in other activities.
In this underlined sentence, it seems that a word is omitted after ‘be.’ In my opinion ‘found’ can be inserted to complement the meaning of the sentence. I’m not saying the sentence is wrong without ‘found,’ though. I’m just saying the possibility of putting in a word. If you don’t like ‘found’ what other word can you suggest?
Thanks.

If you want to add 'found', it seems to me that you should add it to both parts of the sentence. ie Norms do exist in sports worlds, but when athletes and others push normative limits, responses are often found different than they would be found in other settings . Engaging in extreme behaviors that risk health and well-being and inflict pain and injury on others is not as quickly condemned in sports as in other activities.
