Rugby ad
Yeah, the Dida thing was hilarious.
Football at its best is still my preference, but it does severely try my patience sometimes.
Top quality rugby is a fine spectacle though. I agree with the 3 things you mention, but the one that stands out is the respect shown to the referee. Well actually, they are just behaving as sportspeople should. The problem lies with footballers, and their tantrums. It exasperates me. So the ref has blown for a free kick, after a foul. Nothing you say is going to change his mind. Bawling at him, and shoving the player who won the free kick, is really not going to change a thing. So why do it?
And more to the point, why let them get away with it? If dissent became a sending-off offence, you'd have a fortnight of red card carnage, followed by a totally transformed game.
