No sport is immune. But it’s far more common in soccer than in other sports. You might see one or two dives in an NHL game. In a lot of soccer games you see 7 or 8.

And it isn’t just the embellishment, it’s how they do it. You don’t see hockey players grabbing their body parts and yowling in fake pain.That’s the really embarrassing part - the performative agony. Don’t they have any pride?
