The best sport to watch on TV is basketball. Fast paced, lots of scoring, and it is over in 2 hours.
It's a shame the regular season lasts about 19 years only to eliminate like 3 teams. Don't even get me started about the last 3 minutes of a close NBA game taking 45 minutes of real time.
Which is why I hardly ever watch football, except during the european or world cups and even then.
Give me a sport like field hockey where the players keep playing after a fall.
Fall, Stick to the head/hand/knee, Ball (which is rock hard btw) to the ankle/foot/knee/happy area making it not so happy!
Played for about 5 seasons before my knees gave out and some major injuries seen in that time and more often than not you carried on.
Is fun to watch too though, shame it doesn't get the coverage it deserves

Rather watch those sports than one where the players roll around on the ground in agony after the breeze of a missed punch or elbow goes by their head.

therefore my suggestion to enhance football, give each player a baseball bat - with an easy foul definition instead of an arbitrary line: if the other player can't play on it's a foul otherwise carry on.
... baseball bat the sports item with the most out of purpose use ever... or did I miss one?
at least in my variant it's kind of used for sports
