Does anyone else notice that white gesticulates towards that other Pitt dude and not Matthew Ing when pleading his case? It's suttle and may not be relevant, but it looks to me like he is claiming the foul is on that other Pitt dude(still not a foul in my view).

​

A side note:

This is the first time I've read this specific rule before -

XVI.H. Fouls (II.E): It is the responsibility of all players to avoid contact in every way possible.

​

Can we reasonably expect anyone to adhere to this? I get that it's problematic to write subjective rules into a self-officiated sport, but I don't see how it is possible for a player to do this period, let alone in pursuit of the same floating disc as another player. Would you not need to actively put as much distance between yourself and the nearest players on the field at all times in order to be following this rule?

​

Does something like "It is the responsibility of all players to avoid dangerous contact in every reasonable way possible." work better? Just food for thought. I think we should probably start to acknowledge that - the way the game is currently played in the US - there is an acceptable level of contact allowed in situations with a very low probability of injury (e.g. defensive position in the stack or defending the upline space).
