Hi Marlin, not quite the right line of thought mate.
I have no trouble with people that play non contact sports - I used to play some myself along with my years in AFL (Australian football) (Not top grade I must add. LOL).
What I don't like in any sport, is people over reacting to a slight touch to get a free kick or whatever. What ever sport you play, play it like the rules intended, and don't act like a crybaby if you get bumped.
Trouble with soccer, is that the crybaby syndrome is so prevalent that from a spectators point of view, it ruins the otherwise good talent of the players.
I hope that explains my thoughts a bit better.
Oh - and bring on the big fellas with all their padding, it would be fun bouncing off all that soft stuff.
Oops, gotta hide behind the missus again.
PK
