You don't know how much crap i take when i tell people that Our (I'm American) football is boring as hell. Bunch of dudes in like 50 pounds of padding, the quarterback throws or hands off the ball, guy get hits, they stop for like 1 or 2 minutes till the next play, repeat repeat repeat.

Fratelli d'Italia,
l'Italia s'è desta,
dell'elmo di Scipio
s'è cinta la testa.
Dov'è la Vittoria?
Le porga la chioma,
ché schiava di Roma
Iddio la creò... bobobo, bobobo, bobobobobobobo... :)

It's because they've let things get out of hand. The only way possible to fix it is to slowly start penalizing more and more so players learn they can't do something.
What always gets me is the amount of drama anymore in all sports. Soccer is just flat-out notorious for it. I remember last WC or the one before, one guy just suddenly jerked his head back and flopped like he'd just gotten leveled by a Xiaou death punch. And nothing actually happened. Nothing even remotely eventful happened that should've elicited that kind of reaction.
It happens in the NBA. Now the announcer was over-the-top in his opinion, but that Laker did somewhat embellish when (Robinson?) pushed him away.
Happens in baseball all the time on pitches. Batter sways his hips and moves like he's about to be hit. Yet the ball is two feet away, never coming close. No curve, nothing.
All sports are subject to the drama. They REALLY need to start penalizing players after the fact, even if it's after the game. If you're going to flop, it better be justified.
