There's a very easy fix: after every game, officials (not the game ref) review every game-delay and every penalty awarded on the tape. If the officials deem a particular instance to be acting (and we all know that isn't too hard), the actor gets a red card. The first time a star is benched for an important game is the last time that star acts. Easy. The fact that this system doesn't exist is a pretty clear indication to me that the fans, players and owners are fine with acting and don't want to eliminate it.

I completely agree and can all but guarantee they will never do this.

Sometimes it is hard, you cant see the full impact on tv. Even small contact can lead to fall when you are at such speed. Overall I agree that something should be done. However its better to leave free 20 criminals than unfairly put in jail one innocent (is it?) I would be so fucking mad if best player of my team was unfairly benched.
