I know what you mean, Rap. Heck, volleyball was a much better game back when it was a full-contact sport. Then they put up a net to keep the two teams on different sides of the court and that pretty much eliminated the tackling, tripping, and cross-body blocking. Same thing with tennis. It was a much more compelling game back when you could run up and KO your opponent with your racquet while he was waiting for a high lob shot to come down.
