If there is one thing that I can't stand about certain sports it's that a game can end in a tie. This rarely happens in American Football, used to happen in Hockey until they changed the rules, and happens quite frequently in REAL Football. That may change for Football, however, as FIFA is considering getting rid of all ties at the World Cup. This of course is designed to get rid of ties during the group stage. This steps needs to be taken. The point of sports is to find out who wins. A tie is a slap in the face to all the fans that watch the game. I say let's consider getting rid of ties in Football all together. Hockey has changed the rules and it's worked out for them. Why not Football?
P.S. Not that ties are really a problem in American Football, the overtime system is a problem. Let them play a full 15 minutes without sudden death rules. Then go into college overtime rules if you don't have a winner.
