      Not really a rule but applies across all sports. Test across all sports for steroids and suspensions for 1 year if positive, 2nd positive suspended for life. Too many juicers out there.

                Get rid of umpires. Auto for strikes and balls and replays on all close calls. In soccer add another referee lmao 1 ref for 22 players lmao. In hockey I would get rid of fighting

                        I like this idea. But what amount of time do we give them?


                        I would get rid of the DH in the American League. If you wanna pitch/throw at people, you gotta get in the box too.

                            I'd allow defensive pass interference to be challenged.

                              I would make hockey a 4 on 4 instead of a 5 on 5 game. The guys are just too big these days and there's so much traffic in front of the net, it makes a disproportionate amount of the shots ricochet off several people instead of the clean shots that test the skill of the shooter and the goalie. It would account for more scoring and a more exciting sport. I would also like to see 20% of the teams in all 4 majors to go bye bye. Too much dilution of talent.

                                  Anyone caught diving gets sent to a penalty box where fans are given free eggs to throw at player for 10-15minutes
                                  Could also do some sort of bukkake thing

                                    That's very obvious, its the worst call made consistently in any sport in the world
                                    in the NBA the rule book states the rules for continuation
                                    " If a player is fouled in the act of shooting", the player is awarded two free throws. If he in turn makes the shot while being fouled, 1 free throw is awarded.

                                    Did anyone catch that or is it just me? , " In the act of shooting", The current status quo allows you to get fouled at the elbow 3 point line wherever you are n the court, 2 feet on ground, both hands on ball at waist, then you are allowed to take 2-4 steps and shot the ball, and continuation is called. This rule is called consistently at least but the rule is porely written. It either needs to be called as written or the rule needs to be changed too:
                                    " if a player is fouled he is then given the chance to take 2-4 steps and shoot the ball, if he can do this then he will be given 2 free throw shots"

                                          i always thought pitchers did have some kind of clock to go by. i recall recent news that an MLB pitcher was fined for taking too much time to throw his pitches. also, i remember that they have around 1 minute 20 sec from the end of the last half inning to throw their first pitch.

                                                No parents except for coaches allowed within 100 yards of an actual Little League/Youth League game. Set up a closed circuit TV spot for them to watch the game. Serve liquor. Let them beat the snot out of each other and act like the 8-year olds they came to watch, but let the kids play their games in peace.

                                                  Any baseball fan who interferes with a fair ball or falls on the field reaching for a foul ball is immediately shot.

                                                      No more fouls when the shooter pump fakes to get the defender in the air then jumps into to him to initiate the contact.
