Flopping was supposed to be punished after the fact with a fine, but it was rarely enforced. If they can't enforce it with the benefit of hindsight, how are they going to enforce it in real-time?
Honestly I like enforcing it after the fact. If it's in real time, feels like it's just another tool for refs to use to take over the game.
But the fine itself was such a weak punishment to these players. They're millionaires, they're not going to stop flopping for a $25k fine.
