If You Were A Sports Commissioner, What Rule Would You Implement/Do Away With? Major Sports Only

[AmericanGirl05]

In Baseball:

1. Extend the DH to the National League.

2. Do away with the Central Division and divide those teams between the East and West. During the regular season, the East plays teams only in the and like wise in the West. The playoffs are between the winners of the East and West.

3. Eliminate the foul lines past first and third bases. Any ball hit into the outfield is a fair ball.

Not bad. The current proposal for starting baseball is three divisions, geographic, except for Atlanta?

I don't know about implementation but I'd definitely do away with the time outs right before a field goal is kicked. If you want to call a time out before the formations are set, fine. Ice the kicker 3 times if you want. But once they are set, there should be no way to call a time out. It hasn't happened yet but one day a kicker is going to try to stop on the way to kicking the ball and rip his knee apart. Additionally, linemen are having needless collisions as a result.

So if you were a commish, what rule(s) would you want to implement or get rid of? College/Pro/etc... Major Sports only please

Get rid of that mindless rule that says a pitcher doesn't have to actually throw the ball to issue an intentional walk, because YES HE DOES.

And what is this bullshit about "defensive indifference"? Mindreading?

I'd like to have a rule across all 4 major North American Sports (baseball has it right).

In Football and basketball, if the score is tied at the end of regulation; play a fifth quarter. If it is tied in Hockey, play a fourth period.

If it ends in a tie after the end of the quarter/period, then maybe have some augmented way of deciding who wins. The OT rules are silly and the reason for them is sillier still. In 2002, there were 25 overtime games in the NFL. That is the record for a single season according to CBS Sports.

Most ties in an NFL season? Most overtime games in an NFL season? 2018 approaching records

The NFL has seen an influx of overtime and ties this season

www.cbssports.com

That means that there were less than 2 a week. Some teams may have played none. Football (unlike Basketball and Hockey) has offensive and defensive specialists so a specific player will not be on the field at all times during that arduous 15 minute fifth quarter.

One of the beauties of baseball that makes it vastly superior to those goal-sports is that it's not tied to a clock.

Oh and speaking of the clock, any NFL team that's holding a lead and has the ball, you take a knee to run out the clock and you give up the ball AND put the time back on the clock for the other team. This taking a knee crapola is utter bullshit, always was. Play the damn game.

Won’t make any difference

The QB will just take the snap, jump to the ground and a RB will lay on top of him to protect him

I don't think so. Too many people at work. Saturday/Sunday you got college football, NASCAR, and NFL. I'm not a big MLB fan but I do go over and see the Tides a few times a year.

Disagree. That is strategy. What’s next? Deeming that they can’t run the play or shot clock down to 1 second?

Yep! Its like watching many of the movies on TV. Its been formatted for television and made much longer then it needs to be due to constant interruptions and commercials. They even run commercials during plays.
