Agree 100%. I was listening to a sports talk show that I really like, but today one of the guests said that it was the officials' fault that the players were getting away with the tactic. And my only thought was to wonder how in the world would the officials know whether or not these hulking human beings are actually injured?????

If they look injured, I treat them as if they really are injured. Unless I hear the coach say, "Ok, Jimmy, NOW. Fake an injury!!", there's nothing I can do about it.

I hate it when that happens.
