Agree. It baffles me how grown up men with few dozen cameras every moment on them from almost every angle around the pitch arent ashamed of play acting. It really tarnishes the sporting event, which should be display of skills, strength, wit and courage... Falling down after opponent brushes off your hair is embarassing. I cant see how this could be acceptable behavior and consistently handing down fines and suspensions for those kind of antics would discourage it and move football in the right direction. Instead of writting esseys of Ronaldo's potential ban, journalists should shift their focus at vile scum like Murillo and their unportsmanlike conduct and how to tackle it.
The reason why Americans don't like soccer. It IS a pussy sport. Or at least half of it is.

Meh that is false. Older Americans just dont like soccer because they dont know/ arent exposed to it beyond grade school. They dont know the teams, rivalries, players , whats at stake etc.

Americans who do take a little time to learn it often do enjoy it particularly younger generations

Depends on the demographics. It's mostly immigrants and white preppy boys. The not so preppy ones in the South don't.

Mostly because it is a low scoring game. They have no idea on how a 1-0 game might be entertaining.
The play acting part, which is cited a lot, is just an excuse IMO. NBA flopping is just as embarrassing.

Facts

NBA is just as bad nowadays.
Not even close

Ginobili started it. Before him, there was no play acting.

And please, not as bad. It's ridic in soccer, and Neymar just set a new bar.

Doesn’t change the fact that it’s still a pussy sport liked by younger demo who are considered pussy by older Americans
