 NHL
Problem-ish: Shot blocking is eliminating a lot of scoring chances, going against the post-lockout philosophy of a higher scoring game.
Fix: If the puck goes out of play off of a defending player in a clear shot block attempt, the defending team cannot change players.

I don't necessarily mind shot blocking but with the way NHL likes to amend its rules like a Street Fighter game, it's coming.

So basically the fox trax which, as pointed out, was already done and sucked.

I kind of get the feeling that hockey isn't really 'your sport' if the issue you have is the puck colour.

The HD era has made it simpler but a black puck on white ice washes out and a different colored puck would help more than hurt, nobody's talking about laserbeam shots and Fox robots. Those were dark times.

Problem: The trapezoid is 100% pointless and has eliminated chaos plays possible when the goalie leaves the crease.
Fix: Remove trapezoid.

The Marty's are gone. 100% agreed, outlet passes (and the picks of those passes) are good times, especially with the two-line rule gone.

MLB

Problem: Almost all players wear their pants over their stirrup socks.
Solution: Force players to wear Bermuda Shorts.

Really capture that Catholic League Adult Rec Softball demographic.

Archery

Problem: Not popular enough.

Solution: Needs more dystopian archery movies. Recurves only.
