All of this shit takes away from the game. Because of the way games are officiated, half the league flops and then bitches to the refs after every play.

Yep. It's turning into soccer with all the flops and bitching. Not having watched a lick of b-ball in 15+ years, I definitely noticed that was a new (and unwelcome) addition. The bitching is as old as time, but the flopping all over the place is much worse than it used to be.
