If any of you have been paying attention to trends in sports this summer, you’d notice a) a bunch of fair weather soccer fans, and b) there is a dire need for instant replay in every sport.
But Bryan, what about the human element? Look, if you want that mamby-pamby human element side of things, get a shrink. As for me, I want my calls right, and if these idiot officials can’t get a call right, with our technology, we owe it to everyone to make sure these calls are right.
So far this summer, due to the lack of replay in sports, we had a Mexico team denied a win, two goals disallowed for the U.S. and one perfect game blown by a blatantly bad call. It’s easy to say we needed this to push the fuel for replay, but wouldn’t the summer been a lot more interesting if we had these events actually happen?
All I’m saying is that if we can use video technology to launch the adult careers of Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian, we owe it to the fans, the teams, and the supporters of every sport to use it in games.
