Baseball would only be played in domes or retractable roof stadiums. The game is already very slow compared to other sports, a fact that hurts baseball these days, so we don't need to slow it down more with any rain delays.
Football would never be played in domes or retractable roof stadiums. Part of the greatness that is football is that it's a game of endurance. Remember the playoff game, a couple of years ago, between the Raiders and the Patriots that was held in a complete snow storm? Best. Football. Ever. Climate controlled stadiums suck. Bundling up, watching the game, watching the players endure beatings and the weather - now that's football.
Neither baseball nor football could use astroturf. Go real or go home. Fake grass is so 1980s.
NASCAR would have their "road tracks" removed. Seriously. Stick to the long- and short-oval tracks. Let CART and IRL do the road racing, mmkay?
CART & IRL races would not have any left-turn only tracks. Left turns only? What a waste of a good Champ or Indy car.
Tobacco companies could advertise on CART and NASCAR again or alcohol companies would be banned like tobacco companies are. Talk about a double standard. Can't let Marlboro promote a NASCAR team anymore, can't let it be called the WINSTON Cup anymore, but we can let Crown Royal and Budweiser shovel their equally addicting, just as destructive products. Either Tobacco and Alcohol companies can advertise or neither Tobacco nor Alcohol companies can advertise. It's really that simple.
Golf, Tennis, Hockey you three are safe. I can't think of anything I'd really change. I'm not a big golf fan, but it seems to be well done as it is.
And I hate Basketball, so I won't even comment.
