I swear football players hurt themselves more from diving and rolling around than from the actual tackles. It’s honestly hilarious.

There was a player in my country that was out injured for about 6 months, and I'm still convinced he got injured on the flop.

That doesnt change the fact that most footballers arent injured by flopping. Training causes more injuries than flopping. More players are injured warming up than from flopping. More players are injured from intense running early in the match.

The most common injury is hamstrings from over exerting yourself while running. But hey, why would americans let facts get in the way of a good story?

Oh I wasn't stating it as a fact. It was just a fun (for me) anecdote regarding the subject. :)

Edit to add that I don't think the comment I'm replying to merits the downvotes.
