Who else thinks there must be massive rule changes in all sports? Below is my NFL list?

1. NO MORE 1 POINT KICKING PAT'S. That's a routine 19 yard field goal which are rarely missed, only way it stays is by making it 30 yards, so forget it. The only acceptable PAT is the optional 2 point conversion, and that should be from atleast the 5 yard line. And if the other team picks it off or recovers a fumble it counts even if they return it for a TD. Even if they don't score they get to keep the ball where they return it to and start the next posession without a kickoff. If you choose to not go for 2 you only get 6 points for the TD and then kickoff normaly.



2. THE GROUND CAN CAUSE A FUMBLE. The rule saying the ground can't cause a fumble wasn't instituted until '89 or '90 so that's gone and it returns to normal. That'll teach these guys to hold onto the ball.



3. LET THE PLAYER CELEBRATE A LITTLE AFTER A TD, ANY OTHER CELEBRATING DURING THE GAME IS AN AUTOMATIC 5 YARD PENALTY. I'm sick of these guys doing a dance acfter every catch and every tackle. The only reason they're celebrating is they make millions to do it and probably get a $ bonus for big plays. The refs never throw a flag after that crap, then turn around and flag a 10 second celebration after a TD. NO MORE!



4. UNLESS A PLAYER IS FLAGERANTLY AND INTENTIONALLY TRYING TO HARM ANOTHER PLAYER, NO FLAG. That means you can lead with your helmet, horse collar, hold, hit the quarterback as hard as you want, and anything else they've disallowed that further pussifies the game.

This is a full contact sport and these guys are huge and often moving at full speed. I don't care how much you try to protect them, someone's gonna get hurt in every game. And even if he does get hurt, sowhat! Occupational hazard! Besides he's a millionaire who can afford the best medical treatment in the world! And if it's carrer ending, sowhat! History has proven that no matter how good you are your expendable cause there will be somebody just as good if not better to take your place. Carrer ending injury, whatever, even if you played one season you're a millionaire, which is more than most of us can say.



That's all i've got time for now, but the point is if these guys are going to make millions let's make their sport tougher. These professional athletes are just there to entertain real working class folks. They are rewarded way too much money just because they can play a game better than an average person. A lot of these pro athletes never work a real job in their life. They excel at sports in high school and get a scholarship to a college where they continue to play sports and otherwise screw around without really studying or learning anything important. Then the really good ones get drafted and are automatically awarded millions for doing nothing for his new team. Even if this newly drafted guy sucks, he doesn't care cause he signed a contract for millions. We fans are the real idiots here, because we think these guys are heroes. We loose fortunes betting on them, wear their expensive jerseys, spend thousands on tickets to watch them play, and argue endlessly and pointlessly about who's the best. It's all vanity and fodder in the end, I learned that from reading Eclesiates, an Old Testament book in the Bible. All people, we Americans especially need to stop seeking entertainment so often and focus on the real matters of life. AMEN!Who else thinks there must be massive rule changes in all sports?

1. 1 TD %26gt; 2 FG's. I like that.



2. I like how the ground can't cause a fumble



3. There's a fine line between taunting and just being excited. I think taunting should penalized, but feel there's nothing wrong with showing genuine emotions of excitement



4. Most flags occur before the play even starts: False starts, off-sides, delay of game, etc... We can't negate ALL penalties just because a player isn't flagrantly and intentionally trying to harm another player.Who else thinks there must be massive rule changes in all sports?

You sound like your salty bout how much money they make, not how the game is played. The only two rules i would like to see changed is the overtime rule I think both teams should have at least one possesion and i think they should calm down the quarterback rule, its just ridicolousWho else thinks there must be massive rule changes in all sports?

Thank god you dont run the sport.Who else thinks there must be massive rule changes in all sports? Below is my NFL list?
You sound like you are upset about the money that NFL players make. They work hard their entire life to make it where they are, I think they deserve it. I would like to have the hitting the quarterback rules changed, because I am a defensive end headed to college and have been penalized for unnecessary roughness on the quarterback multiple times in high school. Your other rule changes would ruin the game though. I think if you make a good play you should be able to celebrate. It's a game, we are taught from the time we are kids to have fun when playing games. Celebrating is a way to have fun on the football field. Excessive celebration penalties are only stopping good players from having fun.
