The NFL already has a plethora of complaints about the rules every week, and now there are many new rule changes being proposed to fix that. There are a total of 13 proposed new rule changes that can dramatically impact how the game is played.
One issue the league officials seem to think is a growing problem is the language used by the players on the field. They often use swears and even racial slurs which the league would like to put an end to. They want to do this by penalizing the player who uses the inappropriate word by giving them a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. League officials believe that the "N-word" is used too often during gameplay and can be offensive to many people.
Another major change they could make is an extension to the playoffs each season. They want more teams to make it, creating a loner-lasting post-season. Since there's big money and important playoff games, they'll be making a lot more by making more post-season matches.
A third major rule change would give coaches the ability to challenge a penalty. There have been countless times where a pass-interference call late in a game has changed the entire outcome. A big penalty can make or break a game, and allowing coaches to challenge them will at least prevent complaints about unfair calls by the refs. Penalties are a huge part of the game and are always used as scapegoats as to why a team won or lost the game. Challenging them will add more equality to the game and more fairness in every match-up.
