One of the dubious pleasures of watching world-class football is observing the way grown men and women react when tackled. (Or, quite frequently, when they’re accused of tackling…)

Yes, of course, we get it… sometimes players are legitimately injured on the pitch. But other times … well, it all just seems a tad over the top.

This infuriates me. I would say quit acting like children, but kids actually get up and keep playing when they aren’t injured…
