While I am not going to defend the worst examples of flopping in soccer, and I would like to see these actions punished more often than they are, I put the blame for some of the "embellishment" in soccer to the way it is officiated. If you are fouled, but play through the contact, especially in attacking areas, you are unlikely to get the foul called.
So if you fight through the foul, lose the ball or end up taking a poor shot, you have hurt your team by not going to ground.
The post foul theatrics are simply silly and look very stupid.
