Soccer
The offside rule.
So because the opposing team isn't back playing defense you get a penalized? Sorry, this life long hockey fan doesn't grasp this.
The way to fix it would be to a adopt a hockey like rule. The ball has to go through the last third of the field first.
Shoot-out to determine a playoff winner.
In 1999 The US women's team defeated China in a shootout 5-4 after playing to a 0-0 draw. Your not going to catch me waving the flag here. I didn't feel any national pride. I felt bummed for The Chinese team. I'm sure they practiced and played just as hard as anyone in the world. And then end, the championship is determined by one player on your team versus one player on their team.
The solution would be to continue to play until a goal is scored.
National Football League
The pass interference rule.
What makes this penalty ridiculous is how vague and severe it is. If a defensive player interferes with a receiver the ball is placed at the spot of the foul. So if you have a cannon arm like John Elway this penalty could be 60 yards easy. If an offensive player interferes with a defensive player, it's a ten yard penalty. If a defensive back smashes a wide receiver coming over the middle, it's a 15 yard penalty.
Like this.
Defensive pass interference should be a ten yard penalty, but the pass happy NFL will never implement this.
The tuck rule.
If the quarterback drops the ball behind him, it's a fumble. Enough said.
Major League Baseball
The infield fly rule.
If you pop the ball up, it has to go to a certain height and uh so far and uh, what?
If you pop the ball up and the defense can turn a double or triple play out of it well to bad for you.
