I realize there's a lot of diving and acting going on, and I honestly despise it as much as the next guy, BUT... there are also a lot of legitimate times when a player hits the deck. If you've never had your ankle or achilles tendon stomped on by a soccer cleat, or had your calf muscle kicked full-on by a steel toe, OR smacked your leg into another player's leg while in a flat-out run for the ball, then you simply have no clue what you're talking about.
The legs of some of these guys after a game are riddled with bruises. As mine often were when I played the game when I was younger.
Not arguing about the diving and embellishments though. That flat-out sucks and absolutely takes away from the integrity of the game. It's a shame some of these idiot players who are so-called professionals can't seem to see that.
