SN Greg Wright I enjoy playing soccer, but I had to stop watching it because they are indeed the frailest of athletes, strong wind and down they go. Worst part is I don't know when in their playing lives it happens. The only time I was down like that in a game, I hit a guy shin to shin with no shinguards. Broke both bones in his lower leg in 32 places. I got up and finished the game. A year later I had a knee x-ray and the doctor showed on the picture scarring from where I had cracked the bone. Point is soccer players don't have to be such pussies, they choose to be.

The rules surrounding the game encourages flopping. Referees will only call what they can see and, unfortunately, if a fall does not accompany an offense it will go unrecognized. Professional players could take pain just like the rest of us but they don't because it doesn't behoove them. When they flop they're not playing soccer, they're playing the ref.
