In the bigger picture of dissent I don't really blame the players either- they will play to the edge of the rules. Sport is about maximising your advantage without breaking the rules in the game.
This is why diving, dissent and gamesmanship of various descriptions thrive in football. You get the same behaviour across all sports as far as the rules allow it.
Change the rules to protect the ref and behaviour will change within weeks. If you keep getting sent off you soon learn or you are dropped.
