Leagues need to do more on the post game to try and get rid of it. Go to video after the game and if a player is caught diving it should be a warning after the first time, and then a 1 game suspension after the second. With the penalty escalating after that.
I'm sure these guys would stop doing it every game if they knew they were going to have to miss a week.

I agree with the overall point. The thing with Alli is just that he's had too many "despicable" moments in his young career already, and it's not just dives either. It's the added punching, tackling, flipping off etc. that make Alli a very unpopular player among other teams' fans, so it's no wonder everybody immediately jumps when Alli dives again.
