Everyone knows soccer has too much flopping; no one accepts it.
But coming into a soccer thread and complaining about foul calls, that most soccer fans would actually consider correct calls and saying the sport is a joke; is just trolling.
My examples are just to demonstrate and anyone could do that about any sport they don't follow closely.
It's not mocking anyone for "not knowing the game"; it's mocking those who "don't want to know the game" but just want to complain about it anyway.
It's no different than people who say hockey is a bunch of guys who run around trying to take each other's heads off and then fight all game.
If that's all you try to see in the sport, than you're clearly not trying to know the game.
