Kicking a Ball and Pretending to Be Hurt


https://youtu.be/Q4qJghUa3VY?t=235

at least in Hockey you cant pretend to be hurt as you will get a penalty.

reply

They should make that a rule in football too

reply

yeah, and in soccer too. I didnt know that was a new rule in hockey until I was watching the Stanley cup. but soccer is the worst though. they will be pretend their leg was amputated but then get up and be totally fine.

reply

They could just make a rule that if you stay grounded for say 20/30 seconds you automatically must be substituted off. That would instantly remove a lot of the play acting in football.

Plus with VAR, it would be easy to make a non contact attempt to cheat a penalty a red card offense.

reply

in football, if you are hurt or pretend to be hurt you have to come off the field for one play. I wish they would change it to 3 plays at least. it would prevent those fake leg cramps.

I take it you're talking American football - but at least that's something...

Anyway, my passion for football is rapidly diminishing. VAR is absolutely killing the game. Like I said it last post, it could be used for something decent like stopping cheating. Instead, having seen what happened yesterday with Germany, it's actually being used to cheat teams instead.

Tough guy hockey. Wear a ton of body armour same as USA "football".

More armour than Robocop.

One slapshot to your ribs and your ribs will be shattered. Of course they're going to wear equipment.

reply

no one gets concussions or paralyzed in soccer. they just run around for 90 minutes kicking a ball. any game that can end 0-0 is not a sport.

reply

Basketball must be the best and most entertaining sport there is, then.

reply

Basketball has become incredibly boring. they all just stand around and no one hardly rebounds anymore.

It's a tactic to try to get goal (penalty kick, corner kick, goal kick). It is shitty, admittedly and makes the players look like wimps.
