Is there any sports rules that you would change?

It is not very easy to suggest rule changes to sports, because there are too many reasons for and against a lot of variations. 

I have heard about the possibility of adding a bonus point on to NRL teams that score four or more tries similar to the rugby union super 14.  I cannot see it working; teams are already trying to score as many tries as possible to win games.  The only possible way it could enter the NRL is if a field goal is made to be worth 3 points similar to rugby union. 

I would like to see the AFL remove the point for behinds, I cannot think of another sport that rewards teams for missing.  

Soccer, I would like to see change it’s name to soccer instead of being called football.  Football to me is a generic term for any sport using a ball and the feet, that’s why we have rugby league football and Australian football. 

I would like to see rugby league scrap the golden point for round games, and introduce a golden try rule for finals football.  

Going back to soccer briefly, I would be interested to see the effect of having double points for goals scored in general play, and a single point for penalty kicks.  This may add a bit more excitement and encourage players to show a little more skills and enterprise to score. 

Finally I wish to have a ban placed on Americans calling themselves world champions for winning their national title.
