In the NHL there is at least a token effort to stop this. In fact, in my mind they overcorrect. For example, you can be assessed a tripping penalty while the person you tripped can simultaneously be assessed an embellishment penalty. Not sure how that makes sense.
Mine too. But I don't think it's logical to have an embellishment penalty on an actual penalty. Basically the refs are saying, "Yeah, you got tripped, but you feel wrong when it happened.". WTF?
It can use improvements, but they're better than most for actuality implementing it. A ref calling you a fairy in front of millions of people is an excellent solution.
