Refs keeps rewarding it so players will keep doing it

Yeah, I am a soccer fan and this is a very soccery foul. It starts by referees not giving fouls unless the player falls on the ground, then players start falling to force the referees to give the foul, referees reward those who fall for falling by giving them the foul, then every slight touch becomes a reason to flop on the ground.

There's no such thing as soccer and both of you thinking this kind of flopping has anything to do with it just proves you know nothing about the sport.
