I am very happy.

Joe, I completely agree with you. I firmly believe that you should always play to win the game in every match. You help people if they need it, and work together in the pits, but on the field, you play hard, you play fair and try to win. This clearly does give an endorsement to that belief, and I commend the GDC for that. I also commend them for having the fortitude to make the hard decision and do what's right to make the game better for all teams and spectators. Bravo.
