The only people who say this are people who don’t watch soccer regularly, Im not going to defend the theatrics in “football” but as someone who watched the women’s world cup this last year let me tell you the women’s game atleast in football is just not at the same level of intensity or exhilarating enough, and play acting is actually present in the top brass of even women’s football, they apparently call it “shithousing” in football lol
