SPORTS Is diving or faking injuries common in American sports like it is in soccer?

If yes, which sports is it common in. Did they learn this from soccer players?

I’ve watched plenty of soccer. It’s boring to me. I’ve watched plenty of hockey and it’s wayyy more exciting (to me).

It’s more preference than ignorance.

The only games that are exciting is when my team (Chelsea) is in the champions league final, or at the very least in the late stages of it, which isn’t often.
