Here’s a theory for you to consider and debate: soccer’s “flopper” resembles the political liberal.
Rather than using his own skill and initiative, the “flopper” relies on the referee to help him win the game. The referee has absolute unquestioned power over the flow of the competition on the soccer field.
Rather than relying on his own skill and initiative, the liberal wants the government to help him realize his vision of a perfect society. An overly intrusive government has as much power as the soccer referee.
Please agree, disagree, or expand upon the theory.
