In his first appearance with the MNT, Mr. Adu got a yellow card for the unsporting behavior of "diving". This doesn't bother me so much as his qoute after the game.

"It’s no big deal. Hey I just had to push it a little bit. You go down and it could go for you or it could go against you. It’s one of those things where you put the referee in a tough position."

So here we have a young player, who like it or not, has been cast as role model, advocating cheating and recommending it as a good strategic play.

Does anyone else have a problem with this?
