    That top one is the reason I can’t watch soccer. What a lame thing to watch a professional athlete do.

      Which is why I’m always polite and ask ‘how is your favourite sports team doing?’

    I think all football players should be forced to second in rugby. That’ll stop them rolling around in mock agony from tripping over a blade of grass.

      There’s way too much bullshit flopping, but sometimes it’s the only way to get the ref’s attention when an opposing player makes a shitty move that doesn’t hurt but is definitely against the rules.

      Or sometimes they just never get touched but are magically thrown to the ground with a broken leg which also magically heals seconds later.
