Why I can't stand soccer

STOP FLOPPING.

Look, I know Soccer is the most popular sport in the world, and in every other country all the best athletes are soccer players, blah blah blah. I get it. I'll watch the World Cup as long as the United States is still going, which means every four years I watch two games of soccer (we suck). I'm as big a USA patriot homer as anybody - if USA is playing in the World Competitive cup-stacking competition I'll watch it.

Every 5 minutes, some guy gets "tripped" and goes down like a sack of hammers. He screams bloody murder and grabs his ankle like it was just bashed in with a wrench. He gets carried off with a stretcher, they castrate the guy just tripped him, and then two minutes later he skips back onto the field and scores a goal.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, you'll see one guy literally TACKLE another guy, and then look at the refs like he was the victim. You're all terrible actors. I hear they're starting to give out yellow cards to people who flop. It's a start...now, can we start handing out fouls in the NBA too (note: this will make players like Ginobli, Rip Hamilton, and Sasha Vujachic completely useless..OKAY BY ME)
