If your not upsetting a coach now and then your probably doing something wrong.

If your not upsetting at least some of the fans on a regular basis you are definately doing something wrong!

Interesting. Defensive players are expected to disappear or be called for obstruction. But retired offensive player are not expected to disappear or be called out when they are "just running like any runner."

Hmmmmm

No defensive players are expected to disappear. They are expected, however, to not be in the runner's way if they don't have possession of the ball.

Actually, defensive players are expected to make defensive plays so that they don't make themselves vulnerable to obstruction. In this case, F1 (although my guess is that it should have been F2) should have been able to secure the ball through the tag, which she didn't. Shame on her for failing a fundamental skill.
