6 Ways To Make NFL Football Games Better

The NFL is by far America’s favorite sport. Yet the game itself could be so much better.

Almost every sport in recent years has been diminished from a viewership perspective because of television. Every sport, most notably baseball, has had game length increased due to commercials. Basketball (both NBA and college) as well as college football annoys fans with too many lengthy instant replay reviews. Soccer has straight up ruined the sport with VAR.

The NFL, for the most part, has remained a high-quality television product by pushing back on some of the things that have tripped up other sports. Their replay system is limited and usually not time-consuming. Their use of commercials has become smarter in recent years, as has its use of the NFL RedZone Channel and less restrictions on local markets for television.

The game itself though? Oh, it could be so much better. A combination of concussion-related tweaks, over-reactions to non-problems, and rejection of good ideas has caused some on-field issues.

Have no fear — I am here to help. If the NFL would institute the following six tweaks, the sport would become an even better TV product. Read along with me, and then tell me why I’m either a genius, or a moron.
