Will anything be done about flopping? What do you want to see done about it?

How about just back away and don't put yourself in a position to be called for a penalty. There was pushing and shoving between both teams for several seconds before the flag was thrown. Flop or not, there's no need to even put yourself in that position.

On the two that went LSU's way, both Debose and Wallace could have walked away without a penalty. They didn't.

This isn't basketball where a guy flops during a play while an offensive player is trying to make a move and/or set a screen in the course of action. This is after the play bullshite that is avoidable with discipline and understanding the situation.

Hmmm. why are we so interested in getting it policed now?

personally, I am not. I just wanted to get everyone's view on it. I just don't want this trend to gain momentum and start having all these personal foul penalties from players flopping around like a sniper hit them. It's not just because LSU lost on one. I was not all that excited when the LSU players were doing it in previous games. Its a pussy way of getting a penalty imo.

I just don't want to hear anyone bash soccer ever again for the flopping.

Look, I totally agree with this 100%. I came unglued in the stands the other night because this exact reason. Players need to have the maturity and frame of mind, that in a situation like they were in, you CANNOT allow yourself to get called for any shite like that. Whether or not the guy grabbed him and was pulling him off. He should have just left it alone. That penalty cost LSU the game plain and simple. It wasn't the ref's fault, or Mile's fault. It was all on that specific play/penalty.

if they are going to throw flags for flopping, then LSU players need to be flopping as well. They could all learn from jamal adams. he's got it down.

See, that's the thing. Of course, you're correct, but who wants to see that? If they don't act quickly, football will start to have has many flops as soccer.

It is funny but it's also ridiculous and is obviously causing questionable penalties to be called when they probably wouldn't otherwise. It's starting to become a trend that should really be addressed by both the nfl and the NCAA.
