Are you in favor of the refs rewarding the offensive player every time he initiates contact? (alien.top)

with a foul call? I understand using your hips or shoulder to create separation is part of the game and as a defender if your not strong enough to take the contact then oh well. But also as defender you are entitled to your position. Where do you guys stand on this ?

Decades ago I felt it was more balanced. The guys could really play physical with one another. Now it is tilted way too far in favor of the offence. You watch a guy like Giannis who is a bull in a china shop or Embiid lowering their shoulder to dislodge an opponent, then those same defenders being called for a trash ass foul like a hand on the hip or the player jumping through them. It is infuriating. It is also not consistent in the calls either.
