Right, but American football has it for kickoffs.

Fair catches on short, high kickoffs would kill excitement, but removing fair catches (and "kick catch interference," I guess) from kickoffs might make it more dangerous again. For those reasons, I don't see rugby-style kickoffs entering American football right now.
