It really is. I easily saw 100 flops amongst all the football I watched this past season and I don't think I can remember 5 times someone being carded for diving.

Your 40/60 comment may be the most inaccurate statistical guess I have ever seen/heard.

A no-call isn't good enough, it doesn't discourage anything.

They can flop 10 times and get 9 no-calls but the one time they deceive the ref and earn a penalty or get another player sent off then their bullshite has been rewarded and the sport has been shamed.

The EPL is the least likely to card for diving (or anything) of any league that I normally watch.

it does though. If i say a joke 100 times and no one laughs but one time. Do you think that i will tell the joke again?

now what if this joke was broadcast on the media as a disgrace and my peers who like to tell jokes too knows that I am disgracing the joke telling business.

In other words, Why do you think Robben is hated by fans and players almost universally?

this is a problem in all sports and there isn't really an answer. We have repeatedly said all the answer that all sports have used. Apparently that is not good enough for you though.

but keep hating just to hate. potatoes will potate and alligators will alligate.
