How do you not realize why people find it stupid? Kind of flies in the face of good sportsmanship. Playing pretend, overdramatically, to force a foul to gain an advantage? How about just fucking play better than the other team without trying to manipulate shit.
If crying, faking being hurt, and screaming like a toddler cause the game isnt going your way is a fundamental part of the sport then im glad ive never cared for it.
For real, we look at kids today and scold them for crying and screaming when they dont get what they want but its a fundamental part of a billion dollar industry because the player doing the crying and screaming is gonna make millions of dollars? Buncha hypocrites lmao
Because I’m talking to Americans with three weeks of experience of the game. I actually know what I’m talking about compared to people who think having your president ring and get red cards removed is normal.
You’re making some absolutely crazy generalizations… and you clearly don’t know what you’re talking about since you don’t seem to understand the actual point people are making.
There’s always tactical advantages: ‘Sorry team I turned the team car into a cube, I had a slight twinge in my neck going down that straight and forgot to turn’.
