As it was demonstrated at the park, a larger player like Dieter shield pushing someone of equal size's shield, like Thomas, is no problem. Thomas is not going anywhere. But if he was to go against say me with that same average force, he's gonna knock me on my ass. The shield play rules need to be changed to either just straight Bel shield rules, or revert back to V7.0. This the way it is now lends too much chance to fouls being called, or worse injury.

I mean really when you get down to it, that's why people are upset. They were never asked if they wanted the game they dedicate a large part of their life to changed, so why should they believe any thoughts feelings or concerns will be listened to? Actions speak louder than words and the actions so far put forth are go with us or get out.
