@schwartzseer said in If you could change the rules of football (soccer) what would you do?:

@CooperDad No offsides works for indoor soccer given the confines of the field/areana, but if you remove offsides for outdoor play then you risk having players just hanging around the goal waiting for a loose ball, which then means having defenders hanging back to cover these players. On a standard football pitch, that would leave the middle section a wasteland from which players would launch balls goalward, and so you wouldn't have build-up play. The NASL way back in Pele's/Beckenbauer's time had two offside lines dividing the pitch into thirds in an effort to encourage more aggressive and high scoring games (the NASL also had "shoot-outs" where players had a fixed amount of time to dribble in and score against a keeper instead of penalty kicks) but that never took hold.

Thank you for the very informative and thoughtful response. I learned something here. 🙂

I think there is too much binary thinking as to whether some activity is a "sport" or a "game." We often talk about the "soccer game" or the "game of tennis" which we explicitly call "sports", but if we talk about the "sport of chess" that somehow doesn't ring true. Part of this hesitation is that chess has tried for years to get recognized as an Olympic sport and has failed at every turn. I believe it is because the physical execution of the game of chess is not what is being directly evaluated as part of the game--a top-level chess player burns lots of calories sitting and thinking, but that is not what is being measured, it is the mental planning and execution that solely determines who wins and loses. How you place the pieces on the board does not factor into whether you win or lose. Physical games such as soccer, tennis, bowling, archery, judo, etc. etc. have a very strong mental component but it is the quality of the physical execution that gets you the points, score, etc.

I actually started archery a few months ago, I use a recurve bow because it's a great option for beginners like me. It's not too complicated and offers a nice balance between power and accuracy. I've been shooting for about three months now, and I've been loving it so far! It's such a satisfying feeling when you hit the target dead center. When it comes to avoiding string slap, one thing that helped me was making sure to keep my arm fully extended and relaxed. Also, wearing an arm guard is a total game-changer. It provides that extra layer of protection and helps prevent those painful bruises.
