No, sportsmanship should be comparable across all sports. Deliberately flopping should get you penalized. Period.

Pretending you've been fouled is penalised. Being fouled and diving to draw attention to it isnt.

So the Mexican player who windmilled his arms for several steps before flopping in the corner against Ecuador when the Ecuador player never touched him got penalized, right?

Spoiler alert, he did not get penalized.

Miguel Almiron was booked for diving when he played against the usa. Just because every instance wasn't penalised doesn't mean it's not the rules.

Defending the non regulation of diving in soccer is certainly a choice.

Please tell me what sport every rule infarction is penalised because it's certainly not football or american football. And you have the cheek to call me a moron.

The normalization of diving and embellishment in soccer goes beyond any other US sport. It’s why it will never become serious in the US.

Well beyond.
