Light Into Darkness

Speaking of hope: Three propositions about professional and three more about college sport. (I do not including the obvious, that Major League Baseball give up on the Godcursed designated hitter.) 

• That the National Basketball Association ban tattoos.
• That the National Football League rewrite the rules to treat quarterbacks
  like other backs, wingbacks, fullbacks, tailbacks, halfbacks, corners, and safeties.
• That in return, they be allowed to call their own plays. In fact, they will call their own plays:
            - that electronics be banned from the floor of the stadium.

• That the college football “regular” season be limited to 11 games and bowl games be limited to 5, all to be played in Texas, Florida, and Southern California on New Year’s Day.
• That the college basketball “regular” season be limited to 24 games and so-called March madness end by February 28.
• That college basketball coaches coach only during the week and at halftime. None shall be in the arena during the game itself. Further,
            - that no time-outs be allowed in the last three minutes of any half. What
               is this time-out sh** anyway? - sounds like a play-ground rule, like
               backsies.
