I was explaining cards to someone today and they asked if yellow cards were assigned to the player committing the foul or the team. This really got me thinking. What if yellow cards were assigned to the team and therefore every two yellows the fouled team would get to choose which player from the team committing the foul would be red carded?

No. If teams werent able to play dirty, football would be boring because the better team would win pretty much every time. I say this as a barca fan, so my team has dropped points a lot this season from dirty playing, and it definitely doesnt look pretty, but it's necessary for worse teams to compete. Also, a lot of yellows are accidental.

Man, some terrible ideas get posted here, but this one is incredible. This is actually the worst rule change idea I’ve ever read here
