How can anyone think that a team game should be settled by one guy from each team. Hockey has gone that way too.
I say, after regular time ends, let them play until someone scores. Sudden death overtime is as exciting as it gets.
Of course, the real reason for "shoot outs" is so that the networks can predict the total length of a game. Many sports are having their rules and formats dictated to them by the money from TV networks. Major league sports of all kinds are no longer about the game or sportsmanship at all; it's all about the money.
