So nice to see Tomljanovic call out the cheating injuries, if only a few more players would do this!
Ajla Tomljanovic took exception to Jelena Ostapenko taking a suspicious medical timeout, venting to the umpire. "'You know she's lying"
The crowd knows it, the viewers know it, the fans know it, the players know it, the officials know it, the commentators know it, and nobody does a damn thing about this abhorrent tennis player behaviour!
What the feck is wrong with Euro sport, did anyone see that dive the player took at the soccer last week, he hit the deck like he'd broken a leg, was glancing around to see if anybody noticed and then when they didn't react he got up and sprinted away! What a piece of crap player and crap human he must be!

Pathetic and why I hate soccer.

Don't know and don't care, whoever he is he should be sacked, contract torn up, then sent back in time to face a Mussolini firing squad such is his shittiness as a human being!

Italian soccer is the true locus of Italian culture, the place where Opera and Religion come together. Miracles and theatrics, all on show for the paying public. I love it.

Its just part of the game. Exaggerated reactions to a perceived foul.
It would be like hating footy for players touching their head like they've been decapitated by contact that brushes their head or for jumping when they feel hand contact in the back during marking contests.
I have nothing but respect an admiration for professional sportsmen (and women) of all codes because they achieve something none of us can just by taking the field.

Who cares what region they are from, that staging is abhorrent, and completely disrespectful to sportspeople who are genuinely injured in the pursuit of success. As are the fake injury timeouts in tennis.
There should be fines for this behaviour an order of magnitude higher than any other offense, $100K or $1M, it's making a mockery of the concept of good sport! In fact it's not sport at all, it more likely to fit the bill of grifting!
For me, this sort of staging for frees is far far worse than the Hand of God!
We need the bloke below handling the MRP for these cases!

They'll shoot a referee for making an honest mistake in Sth America, but they'll laud a player who cheats the system and it is cheating there is no debate about that!

Its not cheating if the foul is there. The game happens in fast pace without stoppages and what appears like non contact actually hurts like buggery.

This is no different to Goodes throwing himself to the deck from an air swing, it's abhorrent behaviour.
