Hockey prompt

Diving is unfortunately a part of just about every team sport out there. As long as there is money on the line, people will do just about anything to increase their chances at success, and that includes embellishment. For me it has to honestly be one of the most frustrating part of sports, especially when it happens against your team.

That said, those times where it is your team doing it, suddenly you start seeing things that maybe aren't there. People often justify when it's their guy doing it but always call for the harshest punishment when it's the other team doing it.

Personally I'd like to see it call very harshly regardless, but in a sport as fast as hockey, I imagine it can be exceedingly difficult for a ref to call. As viewers we get a million different camera angles on plays and there's still plenty of discussion of what is a dive and what isn't. I guess what I mean to say is that I think occasionally people forget that refs aren't flawless and calling diving is much harder than it looks. In a perfect world, it would never happen in the first place.
