They should definitely be more severe on divers. Honestly, I have no problem if you get touched on the ankle and fall to the ground to try and draw a foul, but flying back because someone moves their head towards you, trying to draw a headbutt is fucking ridiculous. I would banish the player from the league, that's how fucking ridiculous it is. Diving and/or trying to get around the rules happens in EVERY sport, even the "tough" ones like American Football and Hockey. Soccer and those other sports you mentioned (especially MMA) are completely different. See past the diving and it's an awesome, beautiful sport.
As for staying on the ground in stead of kipping up and getting right back into the action, soccer demands a lot of physical exertion and I can't blame them if they stay down for a minute so they can get some energy back into them. It happens in basketball. Fuck, I've done it myself playing basketball before.
