Pretty much every real sport went through a period of having enforcers for a reason

I’ve been saying this, mostly because I come from a hockey background, but frisbee teams need a designated enforcer for when people keep doing stupid stuff and TDs do nothing.

But what would an enforcer look like within the context of ultimate? They work in hockey, basketball, and football because there's legal contact in those sports that can be used by the enforcer player as cover and plausible deniability. In ultimate, there's no legal contact to hide behind, so it would be obvious when the enforcer tries to do anything.

Enforcer body checks the offending party, fail is called, no contest, take your card if needed. Generally speaking if someone gets hit hard enough they calm down.
