it does not stop the games in other sports. Maybe I am wrong, but when I watch soccer, and someone "fakes" getting hurt, they stop play (I know the clock runs) and someone gets some sort of direct/indirect kick.
In basketball there is no whistle when that happens (unless an actual foul is called). In hockey, you can actually have a penalty called against you for diving, and it happens quite often.
Soccer's popularity can't be denied, but I just don't feel like watching for those reasons. I can totally see how people say watching baseball is boring, but I love it.
