This suspension by the @theAUDL is a joke. The player involved should serve a multiple games suspension and have to issue a public apology. This play is dangerous and egregious. This isn't hockey or lacrose.

@being_ulti It would be dangerous if it was a hard hit. If the player wanted to hurt him he would’ve hit him hard, this wasn’t much of hit at all. It was egregious but definitely not dangerous.
@being_ulti The opposing player didn’t flop, just didn’t see it coming. If he would’ve saw it coming he would’ve barely moved because the “hit” was that soft. He got suspended for it, that’s fine because it was wrong to do. But at the end of the day it’s soft and not an issue at all.
@being_ulti The hit is not significant, it’s pretty soft. The players have a responsibility to be safe and respectful first and foremost to each other. The children watching shouldn’t be the first thing they are thinking about when it comes to safety and respect.
@being_ulti 😂 he barely “hits” him. Like I said that contact is nothing compared to the contact going on in games. It doesn’t make it right, but it’s really nothing to it, let alone malice. I’m sure it wasn’t unprovoked and came from some contact that happened earlier in the game.
@being_ulti Not filled with bros or jerks at all. The pace that AUDL games move at is unlike at any other level of Ultimate. You bring in the factor that this isn’t self officiated then plays like this will happen sometimes due to the pace and physical nature of this level.
