Is it a surprise that different sports have different cultures? In hockey you'd never see the sort of diving that you see in soccer. You'd be laughed off the ice. In soccer you'd never see the sort of casual violence after the whistle that you see in hockey. You'd be kicked off the field. If you weren't willing to play with people who will fake an injury, you wouldn't play soccer. If you weren't willing to play with people who will take physical shots at you, you wouldn't play hockey. if you weren't willing to be around doping... you wouldn't go into professional cycling. So once a sport gets that sort of reputation, of course it persists. The reputation causes the problem, the problem causes the reputation.
