What rule would you add to football?

[AndreiArgeanu]

So, I have some coursework where I have two sports and I write about them like a guide with regulations, rules, officials and what not. Now I did create a new rule for one of my sports. However for the other sport which is football I do not really have a clue what rule I could add to the game to improve. So basically I'm hoping someone here has an idea of a rule that would improve the game.

I also have to say about the rule like how would it affect the game positively and negatively but I don't need help with that.

So, I'd be very thankfull if someone can come up with a good rule. Thanks!

Rule Nr.1 - No Rules
Rule Nr.2 - If You Gonna Break Someone's Bones, Breaked It Good

One fan from each team randomly selected from an upper deck get's a decently high powered air rifle and a box of bb's and/or pellets. 

 

People in the end zone sections are allowed laser pointers. 

[Anomnomnomaly]

Do you mean proper football... or the american hand egg kind?

 

 

If it's proper football, then add a rule about faking/diving getting a red card... I fucking hate that crap and it takes away from a very skilful game.

[SpaceGhostC2C]

On-demand VAR, with a fixed number of calls per team. VAR can be helpful, but the randomness in whether it's checked at all to begin with turns it into a joke.

Anytime a sportsplayer falls, another ball is added to the game.

I don't care which football you mean.

[RasmusDC]

are we talking real football where you actually use your feet to play with..

 

or illogical HANDEGG Ball, also refereed to as American Football.

All game play, including timeouts, etc. must take place within a certain amount of time. Period! I'm sick and tired of sporting events of any kind running over the time allotted on TV and preempting a TV show that was scheduled to be shown after the game.

[Teddy07]

maximum allowed budget for teams in one leauge. I stopped watching football because it is boring that teams with a high budget is likely to win.

[AndreiArgeanu]

Thank you all for the ideas. 

 

BTW, I'm from UK so when I mean football, I mean soccer.

Soccer it's like little girls game. FOOTBALL it's for REAL man's game

[Levent]

first order of business, either get rid of FIFA (the organization not the shitty game) or revamp it significantly.

[rEkmAInc1csBnlM6C85H]

A rule all sports should have: The clock never stops, and no time outs ever.

Nothing more manly than being covered in plastic with more armour than marines, and wearing tight spandex trousers, right?

It sounds misleading last night, which included call girls and lots of alcohol

Back when VAR was introduced, I thought the teams playing would be able to request a review upon a call, but ultimately the decision to check is up to the referee and it baffles me that the referee - and his assistants - to decide the final call on whether to review it.

 

Would definitely be in favour of teams being able to request a VAR check, say perhaps 3 max per game, so that the referee is required to check the footage back for maximum transparency on a play.

Neymar, Ronaldo, and Suarez wouldn't even be able to play 10 minutes on the field.

[Bananasplit_00]

Everyone needs to play in platemail

[JoostinOnline]

No running.

Yeah... it's more like a girly version of Rugb which is played by men with odd shaped balls.

 

Much like Baseball is just a deformed version of rounders... also commonly played by girls.

And how would you know that the men had odd shaped balls?

[Intrafinesse]

 

1. I hate what they have done to the kickoff.  Instead they should use a glorified free kick/punk similar to what Mike Westhoff or Greg Schianno suggested.  It would cut down on concussions but still be interesting.  Now many kicks are touch backs and the onsides kick is dead.

 

2. player safety is important but there are way too many ticky tack calls for roughing the passer.  I would keep the new rule that you can't drive the QB into the ground with your weight, but I'd relax the rule on hits to the QB when the QB throws the ball and the defensive player is 2 steps away.  I WOULD allow a solid hit, and brushing the QBs face/head with your hand would no longer be a penalty.

There are far too many minor penalties called on questionable violations.

[wasab]

This is how you are suppose to play soccer(foot ball).

As a former casual rugby player during my school days... I can confirm.

well you talking CFL Football league or NFL Football league?

 

4 downs in the nfl is just laziness imo

3 downs takes more skill in the game

 

another rule would be to pay the cfl football players more.
