1. No. I like Arena Ball
Instead,I want an amendment shortening the MLB season to 100 games (maybe 110)

8. We will start a campaign to impeach you the moment you're elected
If you don't shorten the MLB season to 100 games, and introduce a multi-tiered NHL/NBA style playoff -- I'll see you and your whole administration appear at the Hague!

9. If everyone gets in the playoffs, the regular season games don't matter
The beauty of baseball is that all 162 games are crucial

10. Let'slook at todays schedule,shall we?
Oakland v. Seattle -- there's a meaningful game!
Houston and Pittsburgh -- ooooohhh
The Nats and the Padres -- excitement central!
Detroit and Cleveland -- Start the drama

Here's my point. About half the games played after the All Star break don't matter anyway. Frankly, there's no reason the Kansas City Royals should ever play after the ASB. So here's what I propose.

100 games
All Star Game
Then start the playoffs. As teams like the Tigers and Indians get eliminated early, we don't have to watch them play 50 meaningless games.

11. Then I will vote for you! I'm not a sports fan, but I think football indoors is abominable.
Football, of all sports, should maintain its rugged, outdoorsy, "We play no matter what the fucking weather is!!!" hard-assness.

Playing football inside is like caging a lion and feeding it tofu.
