Well I referenced football. You said pretty much all sports has diving. Football doesn't. But yea, I have less respect for hockey players now that they dive so much.
But it's not an absolute, more of a gradual continum. Soccer players spend all day flopping around like fish so soccer players rule the kingdom there.
Like I've said before it seems the entire game is about faking fouls and injuries, it's hard to repect the players as athletes when it seems that the object of the game, ie the way to get the only goal in the game during any given game is to flop in the crease, giving your team a penalty kick.
BTW can that dot be any closer to the net? It's like a for sure goal every time.
