Nope, find it boring.
And if you're going to use soccer as example of players faking injury, then don't bother. It's reprehensible, but it's still better than what happened to Pearce.
And how is the umpire responsible for that? Pearce would not have received treatment any faster had the umpire stopped the game and Pearce would have actually been better off if he had just made his way straight off the field. He was having a bit each way by remaining on the field, but standing in an illegal position. He could have either stood the mark, or got off the ground. He did neither, he was penalised and he was off the ground getting examined/treated within seconds.
