Football / Soccer had "flopping" [1], which anyone who watched it in the early 2000s would recognize: every foul was accompanied by a "victim" writhing on the field in agony, in excess of anything you'd see in much more violent sports.

Apparently it's diminished a bit in recent years, but not because it's clearly shameful behavior: the leagues started issuing bans.
