"You’re talking about radically altering how the game of soccer is played all over the world. It would suddenly become a contact sport, and I – as a skinny, weak Russian hockey player – don’t appreciate the contact."
This was Washington Capital and Russian hockey legend Sergei Fedorov speaking about a possible MLS ruling that would virtually eliminate diving from the league, and fears of it's ripple effect around the world are making some in the hockey world very nervous.
" [I] would prefer that diving remain in the game of soccer so we have some reason to watch a match. I enjoy anticipating what kind of over-the-top swan dive Taylor Twellman might pull in a close game, or how long Landon Donovan will hold his knee and grimace after he trips over his shoelaces. You can make prop bets on those sorts of things, you know?” -former Detroit Red Wing Vladimir Konstantinov
