A petition to fight flopping

[SteveDobbs]

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.

Is the goal to have the official call technical fouls on bad flops or to get the teams to pay for acting lessons so the flops look less embarrassing?

I'd settle for the latter. I think it's too hard to call in game. Having to replay every play would slow things down to a crawl.
