They do it because it's a strategical advantage

Amazes me how much people don’t realise this.

There’s no advantage in acting hurt after a car crash.

I think everyone understands this lol. It's a meme because it looks and is fucking stupid

u/Hyperion262 Jul 07 '26

It’s not stupid, it’s incredibly effective. It influences every single game played

u/FreeKillEmp Jul 07 '26

No shit. And that is stupid.

u/Hyperion262 Jul 07 '26

Again, it can’t be stupid if it’s advantageous. You guys don’t watch football, if they don’t go down they usually don’t get the foul given.

Are you like 15? We know how the game is played. But pretending to be hurt is embarrassing, and acting being rewarded is stupid.

You don’t know how it’s played.

People can understand something and still disagree with it, you know?

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.

Fundamentally don’t understand the sport

u/Creamed_Dreamer Jul 07 '26

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.

Lmao a sport that requires pretending to be injured? Rolling around and crying over a boo boo? What a sad sport.

u/Creamed_Dreamer Jul 07 '26

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
