Here's the deal. Yours truly has waged a war in the sports world. I took out the leaders of all sports and inserted my self as emperor of sports with the ability to make whatever changes to whatever sport I see fit. Could be one, could be all, could be none.
All Sports
-Instant replay is now aboloished. I know this will be unpopular with some if not most but instant replay has no place in sport. It takes away the human element of a game. Officials are not the game, but are still a part of it and expecting them to be perfect is unrealistic. Take baseball for example, even your greatest of hitters in his best season failed 6 out of 10 times. An ump blows a call but life goes on. Why not put robots out there as players instead of humans if you expect perfection.
-Franchise relocations will now be done without teams taking the history and names and everything with them. All past relocated teams will have to change their names and all, if it origonated in another city. For example I will use the Colts. Do you know what the #1 throwback jersey in the state of Indiana is? Johnny Unitas. Do you know how many games he played there? 0. He cut all ties with the Colts when they moved and regarded himself as a BALTIMORE Colt and associated himself with the Ravens when they came to town. The Jazz name back to New Orleans, Lakers to Minn and so on. Championships stay as well. Fans in LA have 0 claim to the 5 titles the Lakers won in Minn. You can't just reassign trophies to a fan base that weren't celebrating when they were won.
College
-NCAA. Gone. Replaced by what? Who knows. But it has to be better than the current system which is corrupt and broken beyond repair.
MLB
-We're going back to 2 league, 2 division format. The season is so long to be made pointless by adding more teams is a sham. A team that goes a whole season beating everyone in front of them should not be allowed to be bounced by a team with far less wins because they just got hot at the right time or happened to be a favorable matchup.
-Interleague play, gone.
-DH, gone.
NHL
-Kind pointless since its about to change but the shootout is gone. It has taken one of the most exciting plays in sport and turned it into a mundane run of the mill thing and an unfair way of deciding a game.
-Divers get suspended.
NBA
-Floppers get suspended.
-More emphasis will be put on enforcing traveling, carrying and such. The game has turned into more of an athletic exhibition than a basketball game.
NFL
-Find a way to put an emphasis on tackling opposed to these big hits that have taken over the game for the past 30-40 years.
-Move the Super Bowl to presidents day weekend.
Now in the middle of the night like the coward you are you drove a knife through my chest. You are now in charge. What do you do as emperor?
Im posting this in the FN forum because the lounge felt more like a general BS forum. Please feel free to chime in no matter what site you came from.

The NFL is starting it... take it to the next level. Do away with the blackout rule. It's silly... it's antiquated... and in an era where pretty much any game is available to anyone with a mobile device or computer, the whole idea of keeping a game unavailable to view simply because your zip code doesn't fall outside of a particular geographic area is one whose time is past.
Example - I have the NHL Game Center on my iPad. But because I live 65 miles from Dallas, I cannot watch the Stars on it. This only impacts me when the game broadcast is on the Dallas OTA affiliate... which is unavailable to me because I live in a viewing area that according to the FCC cannot have Dallas channels rebroadcast by either the local cable provider nor satellite providers (I have DirecTV). No big deal... except about 15 games a year are in that affiliate.
I have plenty of bones to pick with the FCC - my job damn near mandates it. But - this one is dumb as hell.

NHL
1)The Buttplug is executed on pay-per-view. There's enough money raised to cure cancer.
2) No instigator penalty.
3) No trapezoid.
4) The bottom five teams must play in the AHL and earn their way back to the NHL. (Let's see who's cheering opponents' goals now eh Buffalo?)
5) Leaf fans need to shut the fuck up until they win the Cup with more teams in the league than 6.

I don't see anything about PBA. I'm at a Courtyard Marriot..went down to eat at the "Bistro" and they had PBA Team Bowling...NYC someshit vs Brooklyn othershit. OH MY GOD...stick a hot iron poker in my eye!!!! The tension was so high I couldn't eat the pre-pre-pre-prepared food. One "Team Manager" would do a Tebow when his players were bowling...

Im posting this in the FN forum because the lounge felt more like a general BS forum. Please feel free to chime in no matter what site you came from. I agree...especially the "diving/flopping" rule. If a player does ANYthing to try to influence the referee's decision, that is automatically overturned the ball goes to the other team/foul shots awarded/player suspended/made to sit out x minutes. While I do like replay to make sure the call is right, the officials have gone to the point that they "make a call" waiting on the replay to overrule them...The refs should be the only ones to call for a replay to help them get the call...if they "make the call" then it should stick. |

Force Mayweather and Pacaqaio to donate each of their perspective purses in excess of 50 million dollars to world hunger. Really, do these guys merit a potential 250 million dollars (combined) for a bit more than a half hour of boxing? A half hour that will leave most fans disappointed, in all likelihood. 150 mil. would buy a lot of rice and wheat.

Athletes, Movie Stars and other "famous people" (see: Kardashians) are paid WAY too much...but it is the stupid people that pay them. Not sure how to correct this, but it is insane... |

Abolish it throughout all of sports. |
