Standing on the train tracks

My Online Survey On May 25th, something happened that could possibly change MLB rules forever.  The Rule change being asked for is a "Force Slide at home" rule.  This means, runners coming home would be forced to slide into home as opposed to the choice of attempting to knock the ball loose from the catcher.  Why the sudden uproar for the rule change? 

2010 Rookie of the Year, Buster Posey, was run over at home plate by Scott Cousins.  He wasn't just run over and then got up and called it a day.  He laid in a heap on the ground with a broken femur and 3 torn ligaments.  Watch the video below and tell me if you think this was a cheap shot or if it was a hard-nose play that won the game.
