This soccer player screamed like a gladiator when he refused to flop after getting hit

He got knocked down, but he got up again, you are never gonna keep him down

Celtic’s Scott Brown is being dubbed the “anti-flopper” after he refused to go down after two hard hits against Aberdeen on Sunday.

It’s all too common to see players turn on the theatrics to try and get a free kick in a close game, but Scott Brown isn’t about that life. He has a bit of a reputation for being a hard-nosed player, so when he got tackled again and again he just stood, pounded his chest and did his best “ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!” routine.

What a bad ass. Celtic would go on to win 2-0, almost assuredly securing yet another Scottish Premier League championship.
