In the NBA, NFL. MLB, if you get knocked over, you get up, act like it's water off a duck's back. Think of the Dwayne Wade commercial. If you were to play-act the way soccer players do, you would be absolutely ridiculed by the media and fans. Can you imagine LeBron faking a foul by writhing in pain on the floor when he'd only be brushed lightly, if at all? I don't know about you, but don't you think all the faking that goes on in soccer is a little antithetical to what the sports is all about? Don't get me wrong - I love soccer and I think soccer players are incredible. But all this faking of injuries and fouls really bothers me.
