In sports, there are basic rules of the sport itself, and there are rules for conducting competitions.
For example, the recently abolished "golden goal" rule is not a basic rule.
If we talk about basic rules, then, in the case of a genuine "mass consideration of viewers' opinions," football would probably still be without offsides and substitutions. And, speaking the language of hardcore fans, football with offsides and substitutions is not real football, but some kind of silly mod of the great classic game.
