    1 rule in any sport to get rid of, what would it be?

    1. Has to be the defenseless receiver in football rule for me at number one. You can blind side a guy on a block and have it not be called a penalty but you can't hit a defenseless receiver downfield? Either make them both a penalty or let these animals out of the cage.

    2. Hockey get rid of that rule that you can not score with your skate. You can slide the puck back to your stick with your skate but you can't use it to help you score a goal? WTF.

    3. Basketball has the rule called traveling right? Doesn't seem like it. Refs letting players take 3-4 steps to get to the rim every time (Lebron James). Guys should be athletic enough to get to the rim.

    i would like to do away with Halftime in football and Basketball.

    Also have all soccer games end with a winner and no more draws.

    Baseball is a perfect game. No rules changes needed for that one.

    I love baseball, but the games tend to be way to long.

    1. Fair catch. Make everyone either return the punt or let it go and take your chances. Fair catch is horrible.

    2. Kickoffs from the new spot. Either move it back and let people return kickoffs or give the team the ball at the 20 to start

    3. QB safe with feet first slide. Hey, you wanna take off running??? Guess what, you're just like every other player. No free passes.

    4. 6 umpires in World Series. Crews don't work with 6 over 162 games, causes more issues than results.

    5. Skate deflection no-goal. If you're talented enough to see the puck, angle your skate, keep your balance and score then it's good by me.

    6. One foot rule in college football. Such a drastic change going from CFB to NFL. Isn't college supposed to prep you for the big time?

    You need the fair catch in football or your return guys are going to be out after the second game every season. Most fair catches are caught with 3-4 guys within feet of you, no fair catch and you're slammed, hard, every single time.

    Anyone can slide feet first I believe? Defenseless receiver rule has to be thrown out. Are they just supposed to let the guy catch it!?

    haha, they need that rule. talk about teams being bailed out by just flicking the puck in the crowd and resetting their defense.

    taunting and excessive celebration

    just let them taunt each other and act like dickheads after they score, i don't care, i want the pure athletic product w/out being a team being penalized for something outside of that box

    No you can't. What if a RB breaks free, slides feet first but isn't touched?? He's not ruled down yet.

    The rule that requires female beach volleyball players to wear a top during games. This rule sucks.

    slide rule for me too - change it to QB slides and they move it back 5 yards automatically. Don't want to get hit, go play soccer.

    guard goes in and ties up a big man and it's pointless

    if that rule was to change then the defense should automatically get possession....which i think is too contrived anyway


    not to mention, watch the tosses by refs...fukkin consistently terrible
