Same here, I don't get outraged by it. I blame the referees and assistants for allowing this nonsense to go unpunished. How many times do you see a player go down in the box only for a referee to wave play on instead of booking him for diving (surely if it's not a penalty then by default it's a dive)? How many times do you see a player stay on his feet when being pulled back and not get the penalty?
If refs took action it'd soon stop.
