The intensity the players provide on top of their skill and athleticism makes terrific sport. This was an excellent article Natalie. I agree player safety is important and injuries from reckless play in any sport are not good. I think top level umpires, coaches and players need to keep reviewing where they want their sport to be - hopefully hard and fair- and keep spectators informed so we don't get frustrated with inconsistencies.

It makes it more interesting this way. Make it a full contact sport and be done with it it looks like anyway.
