They could just use the old rules
Comment on Very few people realise how environmentally devastating this game is.

Soccer doesn’t even have the entertaining fights that hockey has. The soccer players just crumple to the ground screaming in (fake) pain as soon as anything remotely touches them. Every time.

The fans more than make up for the players

I’ve always wondered why we don’t really have hooligans in the US. Not just for soccer/football, but any sport. I wonder if Hockey fans’ thirst for violence is quenched by the fights in hockey, and that’s why there is no Hockey hooligans or something.
We got Raiders fans who are pretty close, though.

There’s a university not far from me that regularly burns couches for big games. Two years in a row, fans have taken uprights from football stadiums and thrown them in lakes/rivers. There’s usually a game or two per year that cars get flipped or other vandalism.
The NFL is really good at killing reporting, but fights among fans are fairly common and people have died this year from them.
The US has hooligans.

A man was recently killed in the Patriots stadium after an away fan sucker punched him. US sports definitely have “hooligans”.

Bruh Philadelphia burns down every time they win something big
Plenty of college footbal stadium goalposts are designed to be easily replaced because fans will storm the field and take them down/home with them after big wins
