The charge is the worst rule in sports. The players and coaches have made a mockery of it and abused the rule for far too long. The spirit of the rule isn't to reward flopping.
Honestly, how many times in a game without referees, has anyone even attempted to take a charge? To me, taking a charge is basically admitting that your not good enough to defend the guy in front of you. And when a literal mannequin can do the same act, how can it be considered an athletic play.
As someone who loves the game, seeing players constantly flop to get a charge call, is flat out embarrassing. BTW, do you realize how difficult it is to knock a grown man down that is anticipating the hit. [dang] near impossible, unless the guy has about 80 pounds on you.
BTW, on the rare occasions that I watch soccer, I cringe seeing the players fall and act like they may never walk again. And the only reason why I cringe, is because the sport I love is far worse at embellishing, and I'm embarrassed.
