What do you mean, "nice try"? I'm not "trying" to do anything. Merely giving my observations as an onlooker.
And the practice I mentioned is not "quite common" in American football. It happens occasionally. And it is frowned upon by other players.
In soccer, it is epidemic, indeed universal and has become an art form, from what I've seen.
Why not admit that it is a blemish on the sport rather than going for the "everyone does it" approach.
I agree here. Flopping in more prevelent in soccer than just about any other sport, except maybe basketball....but like in basketball, they usually do it for strategic purposes.
