taylor Jones Running away with it [email protected] Faking injuries is not how to play the game

in today’s world of sports, there are many strat- egies teams use to disrupt their opponent’s mo- mentum. Whether it is freezing the kicker before a game- changing field goal or calling a timeout in a bas- ketball game when the opponent has a hot shoot- ing hand, these strategies can be key in the out- come of a game. there is one strategy, however, that has no place in sports: faking an injury. Faking injuries, or “flopping,” has been prev- alent in sports since the creation of organized sports. Whether it be Cristiano ronaldo faking tears and acting like his leg had been removed at the hip, or Mario Chalmers pretending he’s broken every bone in his body after receiving a reach-in foul, the flop has become a plague in sports. Flopping is such a problem that it has dam- aged the perception of entire sports. As a soc- cer player in high school, i was often the target of jokes about how soccer players were “soft” or “not playing a real sport.” This is unfortunate, because nothing could be further from the truth. Soccer requires strength, endurance and physicality. However, the common perception of the sport is it is played by athletes who cannot handle any physical contact. While some will say the main reason for this is that soccer is a non-contact sport, i dare to say flopping is undoubtedly the reason behind this misconception. During the Auburn-texas A&M game, there were several instances where an Aggie player who seemed fine would suddenly drop to the turf af- ter glancing to the sideline. This received a good deal of negative attention, especially from Au- burn fans who claimed the Aggies were faking in- juries in an attempt to halt Auburn’s momentum. two weeks later, the roles were reversed.
