It won't be football anymore if they make those changes.

It still would be the exact same gameplay, just quicker pace and higher scoring. And they could brand it as a variation of soccer, for example how rugby union and rugby league are the same basic sport but some variations. 

But then how would American teams and players compete internationally if their sport is played way differently. I don't know it seems like a bad idea to me.
