True, but I think VAR is already doing that too, anyway that’s a really solid take. The idea of keeping the flow of the game intact while addressing simulation after the fact makes a lot of sense. VAR also shifts the accountability off the refs a bit. They’re expected to make split-second calls, and diving makes that so much harder. But if maybe there’s a review panel or some kind of post-match disciplinary system that consistently cracks down on it, it reinforces fair play without bogging down the game. I think may be after game reviews and giving retroactive punishments after game may scare players from continuously avoiding even to attempt to dive since there are very harsh punishments to follow through, if got.

Through your take is solid 👍🏼
