There's diving in all sports now. Even in NFL the receiver sees he can't catch the ball and will throw his arms up, fall over or go to the ref with the 'pulling out the flag' motion. Because there an advantage to conning the ref.
The only sport this doesn't exist is baseball because if you get hit with a pitch, even if you die, it's first base only. So not point rolling around on the ground pretending you're going to die.
If for example you got first base for a nick, 2nd base for blood, 3rd base for a really serious beaning.. players would dive.
