Question WHAT!??!

Forget liability, why even have fouls? Why even have rules? If there is no penalty what exactly would keep players in line? The main reason players keep nice (usually) is to stay out of foul trouble and do what they came to do (play). So, in effect eliminating that for one player is ridiculous. What happens when the best (or any play for that matter) on the other team fouls out? He as well as the other player must sit. I have myself been in the same situation wanting to let them play, but you just can't the unintended consequences are just too great. A dangerous precedent, I don't even have to begin, is set.

I guess we are all want to, I'm just saying there are ethical, if not technical reasons we should not.
