I think it's a lot worse in the NBA, where deliberate fouling (either to stop the clock late in the game or to Hack-A-Shaq) is "a part of the game" and so is diving (or "flopping" as basketballers call it). Diving isn't even a foul in basketball. You can't convince me that a grown man can be thrown to the floor as easily as these NBA players are.

Incidentally, if you hate diving, just watch the leagues where diving isn't tolerated, like the English Premier League.
