@Ynotisay Neymar is just a pure diving artist. I don't blame the layers for the diving I blame the league and officials for letting it happen. Which you are seeing more of in Hockey and Basketball. But I do wish the players had more pride to stay on their feet. Watch German Football it doesn't happen as much.

@Ryjones71 Sorry. You rarely see it in basketball and you DEFINITELY don't see in hockey. But you're right. It's a ridiculous part of the game and needs to end.

@Ynotisay You do see it in hockey, Marchand is a diver, and sorry to say over the years there have been a few Vancouver players that dive.

The Football leagues need to review games after the fact and punished the divers, it is difficult for the on field officials to call it. Like I said you don't see as much of it in German Football.
