Ice hockey referees don't break up fights until a player goes down... that's all we're saying

1. Basketball 

Rolling subs. It would keep players fresh throughout the game and fingers crossed help decrease the amount of injuries.

#2. Ice Hockey

Wrestling on ice is a fantastic concept so fair f**ks to the lads, lads, lads who held a straight face long enough to legitimize it as a sport.
Fisticuffs are as much a part of the sport as dentist bills and serial killer accents.
Referees allow players to sort out their differences by going blow for blow and warring combatants are only separated when someone hits the deck.
Yes, we know, rugby players are role models (blah, blah, blah) but it would be incredibly entertaining.

#3. Football 

Let's talk diving or in this case swallow-dives. Let's take a note from football and make this joke of a habit as a yellow card offense.
Five minutes in the bin for such simulation.

#4. Tennis/Cricket

The majority of Rugby fans have been successfully triggered by the TMO at least once in the last year.
The best way to lower fans heart rate is to implement technology in a similar manner to tennis and cricket — a review system rather then check with them for every single incident.
Each team gets two reviews per game and if their appeal is successful then they retain their review.

#5. American football

Right, give us a moment.
How about, err, wait.
Nope, there’s literally nothing to be gained from adopting anything from this sport.
