RI Richmark Why ban shifts? That’s one part of the new era of the game that I don’t mind one bit. I agree with this 100%. The fielding team is leaving almost the entire side of a field open and if you still can't get a hit then it's time to find another line of work.

NBA and Flopping: Because I don't want to see every game grinding to a halt because of replaying flops, I'd like to see the NBA have a central office that reviews potential flops during the game. If determine a player flopped: the next dead ball in the game, any foul called on the determined flop is reversed (the foul is taken from the flopping victim and given to the flopper AND an additional technical foul is assessed to the flopper). Once a player is assessed 3 flops in a season, they have to wear a neon pink jersey that says "FLOPPER", refs are encouraged to whistle them for flopping now without the replay... and they lose the benefit of drawing a charge. 98% of all flopping would disappear within 1 season. Speaking of flopping: I don't watch soccer, but I happened to see the Mexico vs Brazil men's game at the Olympics, and good lord was the flopping ridiculous, from both teams. Any time a player from Team A brushed against a player from Team B, B would fall down on the ground clutching his leg and screaming like something was broken. If the referees failed to do anything about it, he would then get up and continue running as if nothing had happened. Is this what professional soccer looks like? Because if I want to spend two hours watching healthy people pretend to be mortally wounded, I'll stick to pro wrestling. At least they can maintain it for more than a few seconds.
