There is no equivalent to this in American sports culture. In American sports, exhibiting toughness is literally seen as more important than scoring points or even winning or losing.
In American sports, you couldn't get away with flopping and rolling around like that even if you really WERE seriously injured. Even if you got shot by a fucking sniper, you'd better fall down a little manlier than that.
That's why we don't understand or respect the notion that these fellows are just doing it to win the game. That excuse holds no water with us, if being a pussy is the only way to win, then the only "winning move" would be to fucking lose instead.
