Instant Replay

[irishff1014]

I am to the point that I am not sure if the reviews help or hurt. This is associated with all sports. If it is taking minutes to review then it’s an easy call because they don’t have indisputable evidence.

In the last 2 weeks you had the Miami game, the Yankees game last night, the Miami game last night when the definition of targeting couldn’t be more obvious,

These officials need to be fined or suspended.

They are killing the momentum for teams and it’s taking to long to decide what the outcome was. And if it’s taking that long then leave the call the way it was.

You would think the replay officials would be independent third party at a minimum.

You have to have it, but I agree that there are major issues with 1) length of reviews 2) reviews being laughably inconsistent person-to-person. At this point I think we would be better off training an AI to do reviews.

All refs should be independent, not sure why conference's have their own refs

So they can be financially compensated when their teams goes to the playoffs.

I think it’s probably a net negative from a viewing enjoyment perspective. I love going to my son’s high school football games and my daughter’s college soccer games. No replays for the fans and no instant replay for the officials. The call is made and everyone moves on with life and the game. No dissecting every little thing and getting pissed. No delayed celebration in case replay overturns the call. Just an enjoyable experience.

I guess it’s like every technological advancement. Fixed some issues, causes others, and makes people a little crazier because of it.
