They have, I believe this dive at 50 seconds was the first to be punished with a suspension by UEFA, before that happened national associations weren't allowed to retrospectively punish dives with bans. I don't think it happens enough though, it's only really used for blatant things like:
This 100,000X. I'm a Spurs fan, so obviously part of me likes it when it does that (and WHY THE FUCK DOESN'T HE GET A TECH FOR IT?!?!?). However, more importantly than my being a Spurs fan, is the fact that I'm a basketball fan. And Lebron bitching like that is NOT basketball. It is not a tactic or whatever. It is spoiled superstar entitlement, makes the game look trashy and cheap, and I hope it stops.
You can't put class into something that never had any class in the first place. Look how the asshole dressed at his draft: PAY BALL!!!!!! You couldn't keep an ego like that in the Boeing Factory. Eventually he'll just buy the entire NBA a la Don King. That way he never has to lose at anything ever, and the only people who suffer for it are every other person who likes the game.
I just got 2 calls from a coworker at 5:40. Work ends at 4:00. I could call her back and see what's up. But no. No no no.
LuLu Lemon shorts are the greatest invention since penicillin. Even if they do cost more than a used car.
This is starting to happen in football too. As teams put more emphasis on the passing game and hurry up offenses, defenses are getting worn down rapidly, and you'll occasionally see a player fake an injury to give his team a breather. The problem is that in football it's so easy to get injured on any given play, so there's almost no way to prove the player is faking even though you just saw the asshole topple over without getting touched. It's not common place yet, but it is an effective tactic, so I unfortunately expect to see more in the future. I didn't see people faking injuries when I wrestled, but there was a lot of whining about so-called cheap shots and dirty tactics. Look jackass, if it's legal people are going to do it. I couldn't care less about your contrived sense of honorable sportsmanship, especially when you're just using it to save face for costing your team six points.
Seconded. You can't just plain accuse a player of faking in football, and what if he IS really hurt? It can be as simple as you cleat snagging the turf and you twist something you shouldn't twist. I think the bigger issue that needs to be addressed is the brain damage lineman will be coming down with in a few years. That is something that NEVER gets discussed, and these guys are slowly killing themselves. In hockey it's hard to fake an injury because the only legal contact is near the puck, so more eyes are on you. In the old days, if you got caught pulling a "Hollywood" fans usually threw things at you and the other team would sick the enforcer on you.
No boobies (ok barely). No asses ( same deal). Rugby and soccer youtube vids instead? Worst Drunk Thread ever. Nice asses in lulu is far better.
This pic is ruined by the Justin Bieber poster in the background. I'm now questioning the age of the subject in the picture. So thanks, Shegirl for making me feel like an uber-creep.
The fact that you even noticed the J-Biebs poster in the background doesn't make you a creep, just gay.
There actually isn't a story here. Some Indian dude called asking if I wanted my ducts cleaned. I hung up on him, he called back. I hung up on him again, he called back again. I told him to fuck off, he said he'd rape my mom. End of story.
I had this conversation at work today: "Hey, you're Italian, you must play soccer." "Of course! And you're Chinese, you must play the abacus." I felt quite the fool, however, when I remembered that he was actually Vietnamese.
