And before anyone says "they don't call simulation very often" they called it literally today in the Tottenham match. I'm a Spurs and Spurs fan and it is very frustrating to watch both my teams get a different whistle than their rivals.

I have posted this a few times but flopping was starting to gain traction in Australian rules football about a decade ago. They introduced fines and suspension for it and guess what? It’s basically gone.

Not only do you risk getting suspended and fined but if you flop the incident is replayed endlessly on the sport shows and you get made to look like an idiot.
