I dont know why its not popular in general.But.

One thing I know is they look like dumb pussy's When they are trying bait the ref to call penelties.

I can't watch it just on that fact alone. Its at that moment that i lose intrest and never want to watch

a bunch of pussy's baiting ref's like no real men with any respect for themself would ever do.

 

I think acting like this is viewed mostly as a loser's attitude. Winners walk it off.

You know the saying "Take it like a man"  Soccer players never hurd of this saying.

You know, its easy to say it, but running as fast as you can while controlling a ball and getting hit in the  ankles by a guy thats running at the same speed isnt something you would like. Besides, allowing violence would make it a dumb sport, skillfull players would suffer a lot like they did when more hitting was allowed.

Im not saying they dont get hurt really bad sometimes.  Its just we have WWF here in America. If i wanted to watch fake shit id watch that.

 

5% of the time they actually are hurt. 95% of the other time they are trying to bait ref's. I think people see that and its annoying. So its working against itself. They just oversell it its rediculouse.

 

Thats my opinion.

 

As far as hockey well it is sadistic most the time. But so am I

it's the same thing in the NBA.
