Of course this is not all players, (Messi is great example of someone who gets beat on regularly but he rarely complains), but far too many are gross examples for young players to be admiring when it's obvious that screaming and feigning injury at the slightest touch is the rule, not the exception.
I tried my best to convince myself that this was not the case, but I'm sorry that I have to tell my European friends that you are cheering for a bunch of babies whose behavior would not be tolerated for one second on an American ice hockey rink, basketball court, or especially, a football field.
