What are you referring to?

physical play has been penalized a great deal in the past 5 years or so

bigger teams (and i mean like Man U, not a team of lebrons in hypothetical land) should have a huge advantage over teams like barca in terms of physicality, but when refs call fouls that reward small teams for being weak, it eliminates the advantage

size and power should be an asset but they're not called as a detriment
