They get pushed down.... they act like they got shot with a cannon.
They get bumped... they flop.
Unreal.

just like the NBA! flopping kills the sport. if league wants to clean up the game, start SUSPENDING players for flopping. in nba they get fined like 10k which to someone with 50 million in the bank is like 5 cents to one of us... no wonder they still do it. i'd pay a 5 cent fine to be world champion.
if leagues wanted to eliminate flopping, they could.
1st offense- warning
2nd offense- 1 game
3rd offense- 3 games
4th offense - 5 games
5th offense and thereafter - 10 games and $100,000 fine.
think if those stiff penalties were in place that anyone would flop? no.
they CAN eliminate flopping. they choose not to.
flopping ruined soccer/basketball. cant even watch the games anymore its such a joke.Comment -
You can thank Germany for this. They originated it back in the 1974 World Cup when the flop heard around the world tied the game 1-1 against Holland. Ever since then people have been doing it because it worked...Now it doesnt often work, but has been part of the game for so long now that everyone has incorporated it into part of their game. Im not sure you asked for a history lesson, but this is where it originated..Comment -
and flopping in NBA has been going on for decades too.
does league care? do they ever want to stop it?
how does league not realize that it's ruining their sport and do nothing to stop it?
they fine 1 out of every 100 flops in the NBA... players keep diong it because 99% of flops dont get fined and even if they do get fined its LESS than what their contract pays them for ONE GAME. if they get paid 100k/game and get fined 10k one game.. they still got paid 90k to go out there and flop that game.
flopping should nullify free throws. even if was foul, if you flop to try to sell it, you lose your free throws. start calling that consistently at least.
do something. anything. take away their free throws.
give other team a goal line penalty kick in soccer if they flop. then would you have any flopping? no.
but when you reward flopping by giving them the ball... no wonder they keep doing it (because it works). league needs to take hard line stance that flopping WILL NOT give you an advantage. then it will naturally be eliminated because players will stop doing it because they'll know its doing harm not good.Comment -
Dennis Rodman was the OG of floppingComment -
every s. american and eruo player is bisexual, for startersComment -
I don't wager on this stuff every day. Only when these tournaments are going on. I'm sure majority of you wager the Euro leagues etc... or whatever you call them. I've picked up on the rules etc.. but when you're watching this once in a blue moon... it's hilarious. Any touching leg to leg on both players... one is going down. It's a given.
What cracks me up... they start grabbing their faces... and shoulder.....
and there was NOTHING DOING.
The next thing is when they strike the ball.... wide open.... and miss the goal. They have to give a 10-15 second gesture before they move again.
Then when a team is on offense... marching right down the field... with an amazing scoring chance.... they miss the goal... the goalie goes ape sh#$ on his defense. Acting like he's the coach or something. WTF is going on here?
I don't ever see a goalie in the NHL go ape sh#$ on his defense after a breakaway.

TMS is onto something here.
Its just fukking weird.
Have you ever seen when they flop and a crew of people come out onto the field & put a blanket on the player?
A blanket. No joke!Comment -
best one was yesterday in us game, come bisexual columbian and an american both go for a ball on the sideline, at first, the pole-smokin' columbian thinks the ref is going to give the ball to columbia, so he hops right up and gets ready to play; then, he sees that the ball is being given to the US, he takes a couple of steps and hits the deck, and starts rolling around on the ground, writhing in pain as if he'd been shot in the leg.....
safe to say, if you have the ball, and anyone even touches your ass, you're hitting the ground as if you were dancin' in a gay night club in Orlando two weeks ago at 2:00 am in the morningComment -
