When I first heard about penalizing players for diving I thought it was a great idea. But after reading a few news articles this season and seeing who is getting fined and who is not I am kind of surprised. We've all seen some obvious dives this season. My guess is the league is cherry picking this and some players and teams appear exempt from the rules.
League has always had trouble equally doling out punishment. Guess this is just more of the same.
Clutterbuck was fined in the previous Philadelphia game. After re-watching the video I was surprised he was fined compared to other players diving this season.
