All players responsible for fair play, knowledge of rules, mutual respect; Even at elite level, players make their own foul/contest calls; "Contest" → re-do throw; "no contest" → call stands
Why people argue about this
People often assume that calling fouls is just about making sure games are fair, but they misunderstand that it's also about fostering a culture of mutual respect among teammates. The Spirit of the Game encourages players to call their own fouls not just as a defensive strategy, but as an act of acknowledging and upholding the team dynamic and camaraderie within each squad.
