What sport has the biggest fakers and sissies?

GoldenRivet · 10-06-10, 03:15 PM

yup.

(TV Wrestling isnt a sport and thus not a viable answer to the question)

video is blocked in my country, but i'd say football (not hand egg)

GoldenRivet · 10-06-10, 03:20 PM

its a video of fake injuries and dives.

some of which are blatantly obvious. others are terrible over acting.

they are like children throwing tantrums to get mommy's attention.

why is there the need to do this?

It has to be football but let's be fair here....it is probably the biggest sport in terms of numbers of countries and participants throughout the world.

no doubt about it

but whats with the theatrics?

you just dont see "American Footballers" mysteriously tripping and pointing at an opposing player some 5 feet away while feigning agony and holding their stomach or head etc.

im not implying its a nationality thing... but a sport thing overall.

why the need for dives?

is there some sort of advantage offered by it? do people believe this garbage?

does mysteriously flopping down onto the ground and rolling around as if you had been shot in the groin by some unseen foe help win the game?

Exactly the reason I don't watch football, ridiculous.

People taking dives pisses me off, but it is still a great game.

Gamesmanship gone haywire, I guess.

If it gets your side a penalty kick, then yes it does offer an advantage.

Worldwide, I'd say European football.

In the US, professional basketball:

Of the footballers it seems to be the mediterranean nations who dive and wimp the most.

I generally can't stand football. I prefer my motor racing.
