New rules / commissioner's statements

Again, they could make any changes they wanted, there was far more they could do to Americanize the league.

Moving goalposts, taking 10 yards length out of the field and changing the clock are not "American" changes. 

4 downs, 11 men, no ratio, narrower field, there were so many more ways they could have "Americanize" the game.  But they chose a few cosmetic changes to update the game.

Again, I would be more open to the changes if they werent the league's only major initiative so far to attract new fans.

I am still waiting for other efforts to enhance fans' experiences.

Mr. Flutie is onto something.

Funny, I watched the second half of the Super Bowl yesterday just to see what all the fuss was about and my initial conclusion was great athletes, not enough space to demonstrate their abilities properly. Same goes for hockey, giving them more space to perform would make the game way more exciting. Imagine soccer if they drastically shrunk the field, it would cause less excitement and more congestion.
