You son has integrity. Flopping is a form of dishonesty.

+1 Be proud of your kid on this one, and let him play the way he wants to play.

Of all the stupid sh-t I've worried about with my kids playing soccer...this has never even crossed my mind as something to worry about. This is the next level crazy.

The kids to whom flopping comes easily tend to be flippers in other areas as well. I’d count your blessings you don’t have a natural flipper and myob.
