How would you change / improve your favorite sport?

Soccer - no one would go for it, but IMO we need to fundamentally change the game to protect heads more.

How about headers only in the box? Otherwise, headers are like a hand ball?

I’m not sure, but I’d think most head injuries happen in the box.

Feels like the high balls at midfield would be the biggest problem.

2 outfielders would be WILD

I like the enforcing travel sentiment and the 2 outfielder, but no to crack

Yeah I know the injury rate on those hits so I get it. I just remember some

I’d have the power of the wasatch perform after the 1st and 3rd quarter on field

True. He also has to eject anyone who hurts his feelings. Tough gig.

My crazy suggestion for baseball. Only the team behind bats…meaning you skip the other teams half of the inning UNTIL

Golf…let the crowd jeer players while they hit their shots.

Football: No partial yard spotting of the ball

I love this, except what do you do inside the 1? Is everything past the 1/2 mark a TD?

Move it back to the 1 yard line.

6/6/23 10:56pm

I have had this exact idea for several years.

COACHdrn

Excellent idea that seems so simple yet so obvious

The Chief

6/6/23 11:43pm

I can't believe it hasn't just always been this way
