Too many gimmicks is not good for sports. NASCAR has become an absolute joke of a motorsports series with all of its rule changes over the last two decades (shame because the on track racing these last few years has been spectacular). It started with a simple rule format of the best 12 drivers starting from scratch in the last 10 races to decide a championship. And now it turned into 16 drivers who won at least one race, entered in a playoff format where 4 drivers get knocked out in 3 playoff rounds in 9 races and having the final race decide who wins amongst 4 drivers. Absolute clown show.
My point, one gimmick turns into two gimmicks and then all of a sudden the entire sport is a gimmick. MLB has the new extra innings format, thats all that should be needed in terms of gimmicks.
