Football (soccer) is a very successful sport when you consider the amount of money it generates. But does it set a morally good example? I don't think so. I think it is one of the worst sports for setting a good moral example.
Take for example the diving. Players these days just collapse without any collisions. At the moment, players have a mentality that if they can get an advantage by foul play they should do it. If they are not noticed the better. Surely this kind of skewed moral has transcended into daily life by influencing children. If they can get away with it, they should do it without thinking of the moral consequences. If the football stars can get away with it, it must be ok.
Turning this tide by just talking to the players is probably impossible. Why not include video replays? Replay it on the big screen and if it is diving, it will be entertaining for the spectators, embarrassing for the player and there is proof. In no time, the players will stop diving.
