One of these days they're going to figure out a reasonable way to sanction players for playacting, using video, even if it's after the game.
Or at least I hope so.
I mean, how hard would it be for another official to be sitting on the sideline (or even up in a booth) with a monitor of the live feed and the ability to communicate down to the referee about, say, Fred's "penalty" from the first game.
Ref: Really a penalty?
Official: No, total dive.
Ref (to Fred): No penalty, and you get a yellow card, boy-o.
