Players screaming in "agony"

[Plodder]

Match of the Day rightly ran a little feature last night on players screaming whenever they go to the ground after being fouled (or not).  Lacazette was unfortunate to be singled out, but it was a good example.  Footballers really should be embarrassed about it, when they compare themselves with the bravery of other sportsmen and sportswomen.

In all my years of watching rugby, I can't recall a single occasion when a player has screamed out after getting smashed to the ground.

Lacazet's scream yesterday was very embarrassing.

Jack Willis screamed in agony after he did his MCL against Italy but in those circumstances it is not surprising

When Jack Willis suffered that awful knee injury after being crocodile rolled against Italy, he did emit a little yelp initially - and who could blame him?  Afterwards, he lay there in genuine agony but in brave silence, having (in his words) "torn my MCL off the bone at the bottom, torn a bit off the top as well, so I am going to need that fully repaired. Torn both meniscus, the medial meniscus from the root one side. Pretty gutted, I could be out for up to a year."

I am sure everyone wishes him well - such a good player and terribly unlucky. This is his second serious long term injury and he is only 24.

It's a disgusting trend which should be recognised as simulation, which is an offense.  But agree, it's more than just the offense, it's a shameful behaviour.
