  That's one of the reasons why I like (American) football and ice hockey
more than soccer. The former two are very rough physical sports where tackling
is actually part of the sport and the rules, yet players seldom pretend being
hurt if they really aren't (in ice hockey they sometimes try to pretend they
were tripped over by an opponent against the rules, but even then they don't
pretend being hurt).
