You can't help but wondering for years and years footballers and basketballers and many other sports specially in professional leagues are in constant disagreement with the referees and not once you will ever see that the calls are reversed. It seemed though that this has become a trendy thing to do and more so in high caliber players. On the top of that, there are constant acting and flopping that goes on. It is as the athletes nowadays have no pride in wanting to win fair and square, rather they go through what ever it takes to cheat and be unfair but win a match. This to me is far from the spirit of being an athlete and more of a cunning job.
The recent 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil is the best example of these cheap and very demeaning in a world stage. I was watching the France and Switzerland match and one of the players was pointing at something when it accidentally hit (very softly) the Swiss player where he threw himself on the ground and holds his his head as if he was hit by a truck. All that for either getting a free kick or trick the referee to book the other guy with a yellow card. This to me is disgusting and has no place in sport.
Other activities are purposely taking players out and pull their shirt and hold their hands and many other cheating activities that have no place in sports. This problems are getting worse every year and being accepted by the fans and the followers.
