As a Bulls fan trying to find things to do with myself besides suicide, I decided to start a Change.org petition against flopping in the NBA.

All it took was 300,000 signatures on this site for Bank of America to drop their $5 debit card fee.

If you think, as I do, that flopping is ruining the game, go on there and sign the petition. It takes five seconds. In a couple hours with nothing other than posting on the general board here I have a handful of signatures.

Stern and the NBA obviously don't have to listen to Jeff Van Gundy, but maybe with enough people voicing their displeasure, they'd have to take the issue seriously and look at doing something, anything about it.

Mods feel free to lock if you don't want this on your team's board.

lol... oh goodness...

I'm not really sure what you can do about flopping since it's a judgement call for the refs. They either see it or don't see it.

That's why I want the league to fine players after the fact. Nothing you can do about it mid game. Way too hard for refs to tell.

I think you have to start w/ the referees 1st! Have you seen how many times BLAKE has been mauled this year & there is no foul?
I think some players flop b/c that is the only way the Refs will pay attention.
