I think ever sport should have an average Joe plucked off the street so we can gauge how good these athletes actually are, for example in the swimming they all finish very close, but if we have to wait an extra 20 minutes for Steve in his Bermuda shorts to finish the butterfly, it gives us more of a perspective how good these pro swimmers actually are. |

Pretty much every motorsports this goes for. For every race remove qualifying and just reverse the drivers standings. Always have the best at the back, fighting for the front.
(Would potentially even make F1 midly interesting apart from most overtakes would still come during pit stops and strategies...) |

I’d have them all in the same car, maybe a Ford Focus or something, then you could really gauge who the best driver is |

Er, like star in a reasonably priced car?

Legalise rucking again.
Although the newest version of the breakdown is beginning to outlaw the cheats I still miss the good old days of being able to put a boot on the sneaky hands and legs all over the ball.
I remember fondly waking up on a Sunday morning with the bed sheets stuck to the eight inch gashes on my back.
The breakdown refereed itself in those days and as a man who loved to take it just as much as give it out it was great fun.
Standing in the showers after a game with the back line all in awe of the battle scars us forwards had was as much of a reward as any try I ever scored.
I do appreciate that more parents have encouraged their kids to play rugby and more kids have persisted since the game has been cleaned up though which has been great for the game so it’s a very selfish idea. |

Ummmm I think wheelchair basketball has few enough rules already. Actual charging (deliberately ramming) would be nice, but we can already do things like wrestle the ball out of another player's hands, even if they have both hands on the ball. If I'm pulling the ball and their chair tips over, that's fine. I work on the "cuddle the ball right next to my boobs" method. If they're cautious, they leave it. If they get a handful, then all's fair in love and war and basketball |

"Could normal people even do the butterfly. Seems a massive effort for a swim. Doggy paddle still gets you to the other side. "
Yeah, they could basically do whatever they wanted to finish. |

I played a season of rugby back in the day out on the wing, so I stayed well away from the action, I’m so oblivious to the rules, I just had to Google what rucking is. |

Yes, but no speedboats! |

Sounds like a free for all, already ?! |

Yeah, pretty much
We're not allowed to deliberately ram into another chair, but we can block using the chair. It's pretty fierce. We also have to "have control of the chair" when shooting, so you can't glide down court and shoot without adjusting the chair. I've had shots disallowed for that  |

I love that you love the pain |

In regards to F1. Rather than all having the same car, as that would take away from the lineage of the sport and the old Ferraris and silver arrows etc. Perhaps a team budget cap.
Which I've just looked up and they're already doing it  |

There’s always been a saying for anyone that gets an injury, strap it up and play on the wing...
I’d imagine yours would take some strapping! |

I believe wheelchair basketball was originally called "murderball" ...

"If somebody fouls you in football, you should get a free kick, not with the ball, but at the bastard who tackled you  "
Bwahahahahahaha.
Dirty dirty Spurs and dirty Leeds wouldn't have a player not on the injury table....

Combine WWE with football.
You could give the goal keeper a stone cold stunner allowing your team to score.
When you don't agree with a referee decision spin him around and rock bottom him. |

That's wheelchair rugby, which is even more vicious. Mr Tender wants rucking back. Try wheelchair basketball - you can't put a boot in, but you CAN use a metal wheelchair with integral battering ram to flatten your opponent |

In football, swap the physios for those vets in horse racing...
“Oh you’ve hurt your leg - better to just shoot you seem as you are rolling around in such pain ”
End diving in about twenty minutes (and 11 deaths) haha |
