If there was one rule in sport that you could change what would it be?

[xpansive]

For me the allowance of replays in MLB...At the very least the lack of this technology has allowed perfect games to go untold.

Each team be given 3 chances to dispute calls. If proven original decision was correct they lose 1 chance. If disputed call was correct then team stays on original number of chances.

Icing rule in the NHL, make it no-touch like in Olympic hockey.

 

[FairWarning]

The replay rule in the NFL. You get 2 challenges and if you are right, you get an extra challenge. What if the ref is wrong both times?

The defenseless player rule in the NFL. Maybe not the rule itself but the way it's enforced.

Close second or maybe even first would be the helmet to helmet rule. If players are going down or ducking there should be no call.

Both of these are followed very closely by the roughing the passer rules. Stretcher required or no call.

The not letting white American players play in the NBA rule.

My college football rule would require all colleges to play the same amt of road games as home games.

I wish they would change the rule where negro NFL players must dance like apes in the end zone after scoring a touchdown.

I hate that rule.

 

[Acid Joe]

The single point rule in Canadian Football.

Icing in the NHL as Matty said.

 

[stevek173]

The no force out rule in NFL. I mean wtf.

I have always felt that in golf, you should be able to lob balled-up pairs of socks at players during their backswings.

 

[senco78]

NFL and NCAAF need an "uno" rule like arena football


uno rule : if you split the goalposts on a kickoff your team gets 1 point

 

[FreeFall]

Reviewing plays in any sport. If you want to review every play then remove the refs. If you want human spirit and emotion in a sport then trust the humans mistakes or not.

I'm tired of this half and half bullshit.

Either be perfectionists on every rule or no at all. Picking and choosing isn't fair.

 

[Saulty]

Ban FG's in football from the 2 yard line or less. Make teams go on 4th down.

 

[Tomato]

Offsides rule in soccer.

Would make a line like in hockey.

 

[Bay Bud]

I wish they would change the rule where negro NFL players must dance like apes in the end zone after scoring a touchdown.

I hate that rule.

i never knew clay matthews was a negro.

baseball: no designated hitter.

 

[Tron]

Move the Houston Astros to the American League

 

[tullamore]

The instigator penalty in hockey

 

[Mudcat]

Olympic javelin should be a team event where someone has to catch it.
