Not to mention that you are an adult male athlete that should be able to take some hits, bumps, bruises, falls without having to stop play and cry. I think a lot of americans, myself included, can't consider what we are watching a sport when this happens so often. Grow some fucking balls and toughen up and maybe it would get more popular.

MotoGP riders crash at fucking 100 MPH and immediately get back up and get on their bikes, despite any injuries. Soccer players are cheaters.

Also pay attention to their body language after something goes wrong. Most of the teams throw their arms up in the air and scream at people, like "HOW COULD YOU FUCKING DO THIS?" even when it's their own fault. In other sports, and MotoGP in particular, when someone fucks up they blame themselves.

I also noticed that the Japanese players blame themselves when things go wrong, compared to Brazilians, Mexicans, and Spaniards, who scream at other people when it's their own fuckup.
