Well, I meant that it is irrelevant in that you can alter the play more than sufficiently for a FPSR violation without touching the fielder. The sitch given made a point of saying that the runner did not touch the fielder, and in this case that was irrelevant if he altered the play by another means.
So yes, I mean that contact is not required. Many people think that it is, we see them on ball fields and in the stands every day
