Cheats

Soccer is not infested with drugs cheats like cycling, athletics, the National Football League and Major League Baseball. And it's not a hotbed of hoodlum culture (at least among the players) like the NFL and Non-Basketball Association.

Soccer players taking dives is obnoxious, but it's a dishonesty that's ultimately trivial compared to the dishonesty plaguing "real American" sports.

Diving won't kill you... or land you in jail.
