Rule changes in professional sports are typically proposed through a formal process involving teams, leagues, and relevant governing bodies. Organizations usually submit recommendations, which are reviewed by committees comprising experts and stakeholders. After thorough discussion and analysis, proposed changes may undergo a voting process where the majority's approval is necessary for implementation. Rules affecting gameplay, safety, and fairness may also require periodic evaluations to remain relevant and equitable. Transparency and stakeholder feedback are vital throughout this process to maintain the integrity of the sport.
