As an example of what I was talking about earlier about diving being a self correcting issue, that's a young Brazilian player called Adryan and back in 2014 was signed on a loan deal by Leeds United, with an option to buy. He had a couple of decent performances but any Leeds fan would only remember him for that ridiculous dive, after which he basically never played again for the club because no-one could take him seriously. Leeds didn't take up the option to buy, and since then he's done nothing of note, being shipped around a few other European clubs before ending back up in Brazil. His most memorable achievement in football will be one of the most laughable dives ever.

Also yeah the ubiquity is the other point I was trying to make: at a conservative estimate of at least 50 leagues around the world playing a wholly televised or at least recorded schedule every weekend, and assuming around 20 teams a league, that's around 500 matches of live professional football every weekend, ripe to be turned into memes. There's just an incomparably huge amount of football being played compared to literally any other sport on the planet, so of course you'll have more visible incidents of shithousery.

flopping is absolutely a thing in the NFL. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2020/11/27/texans-faked-an-injury-to-save-a-timeout/ Flopping is why teams get charged a timeout for injury stoppages in the last two minutes either half, and get yard penalties/time runoffs if they do not have any timeouts. that right there stops a lot of the egregious poo poo.

You get sent to the penalty box and your team has to play short handed for flopping or even just embellishing in ice hockey, the one true sport.

Flopping is a a powerful tool in any football players arsenal, and it has decided entire tournaments, so it's hard to fault the players for doing it if they can get away with it. It is at the same time embarrassing and lame as gently caress, and to look at the bright side, the compilation videos are great fun.

Who loving does that? So she was mondo primed to Karen before even walking in I'm sure that it's worked before, as someone may have already pointed out. Back when I worked for a now defunct national retailer, it was company policy that for anything under $50 cost, the store manager was authorized to do whatever it would take to make the problem go away, up to and including grabbing two twenties and a ten from the register and handing them to the customer to get them to go away. A customer could have smashed a $49.99 cost item with a hammer then came in complaining about how bad it is at resisting hammer blows and demanding a new one for free and if they made enough noise, the store manager was supposed to hand them a new one or give them a full refund just to literally shut them up. Returning something you don't have is not something I recall having anyone try, but we did do a lot of swap outs for something a customer obviously damaged themselves and had concocted some harebrained tale to explain. The real origin of "the customer is always right" attitude is really "it isn't cost effective to fight the customer on this"

You wanna run the risk of taking a dive for a minor slash to try and pull a power play? Go for it, but know that you're risking your team being down a man as well.

Zesty posted:Cool? I didn't say anything about "the love of the game". It's pretty clear sign stealing (like the embed here) is cheating and against the spirit of the game. So I don't know what your point is when you're saying, "The only thing that matters is winning, so cheating is fine." The issue is that's a moral stance not a stance on what's legal in a game. I think the issue is that if it's not against the written rules it's legal. If the people running the game don't like it then codify it in the rules. It's not cheating if the rules don't say it's illegal. It's a business, the fact that the business is a "game" is completely irrelevant. business will do what's necessary to get ahead in their business. If it shouldn't be legal then make it illegal. Then, make the consequences of cheating heinous enough to the business in question so that it is never ever worth it to try and get caught. Then do this to all the businesses in America, not just sports.

Solice Kirsk posted:This is a sort of interesting story about a coach like that: Also Smokey Yunick back in the 60s NASCAR "Another Yunick improvisation was getting around the regulations specifying a maximum size for the fuel tank, by using 11-foot (3 meter) coils of 2-inch (5-centimeter) diameter tubing for the fuel line to add about 1.5 US gallons (6 liters) to the car's fuel capacity. Once, NASCAR officials came up with a list of nine items for Yunick to fix before the car would be allowed on the track. The suspicious NASCAR officials had removed the tank for inspection. Yunick started the car with no gas tank and said "Better make it ten,"[3] and drove it back to the pits. He used a basketball in the fuel tank which could be inflated when the car's fuel capacity was checked and deflated for the race. Yunick also used such innovations as offset chassis, raised floors, roof spoilers, nitrous oxide injection, and other modifications often within the letter of the rule-book, if not the spirit. "All those other guys were cheatin' 10 times worse than us," Yunick wrote in his autobiography, "so it was just self-defense." Yunick's success was also due to his expertise in the aerodynamics of racing cars. In another incident, Yunick showed up for a race with stock rear fenders that partially covered the rear tires of his Chevelle. The car qualified well due to improved aerodynamics but the other teams were laughing and wondering how he was going to change the tires during pit stops. After qualifying, Yunick promptly cut out the rear fender openings. The other teams complained to NASCAR but Smokey said, "The rules say that I CAN cut out the rear fenders but it doesn't say WHEN I can cut them.""

Sentinel Red posted:The best part of this was Senna doing the same drat thing back to Prost at the same track a year later to win the championship himself. The little poo poo really wasn't in a position to complain though I'm sure he probably did because Prost was garbage that way. What makes the second crash great is two things. Senna was in the lead of the series by 9 points. Winning the race was worth 9 points. But a previous penalty would cost him two points. So he had to place in Japan and win the last race to win the series. By preventing Proust from finishing, it ended Proust's run and gave Senna the championship. But for that bonus spice this thread loves...the announcer makes a statement proven very wrong right before the crash. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbeBnn0Ufsc
