They have changed many rules before in soccer. The major one being the offside law now that a player is deemed offside only if he/she is interfering with play....(much more to it)

i know what you are saying, but im hindsight every has the ability to be a genius. Sometimes, it is just too plain hard to determine what is a dive and what is not. There are consequences that 'divers' face. They gain a reputation and sooner or later they will be worse off for it. I myself hate diver's and wish they had never set foot on the pitch

Players that dive will eventually get rubbed out of the game, but it is due to the reputation they get from doing it week in week out.

All codes have good and bad characters and moments and so on. But football/soccer has stood the test of time and it is unlikely that things will change, mush to the dislike of some others.
