In my opinion "official review" has ruined sports

[bettilimbroke999]

Its just not fun anymore bc you cant even celebrate a big play bc you have to wait for 5 different camera replays to confirm it, not to mention just sit around watching refs analyze every big play for 5 mins.

I mean **** I just dont really give a shit if the calls are wrong anymore, who fuckin cares, when I watch and even when I bet on baseball I get screwed or benefit from bad calls in every game, replay shows a guy safe or out every single game but I dont give a fuckin ****, if they had to review every single fuckin time a guy was safe or out for 5 mins each time I would never watch baseball.

As long as the refs arent intentionally screwing one team or another then the game is fair and thats all that matters to me when I watch a game, is that its for the most part called fairly, sure good pitchers are going to get a little bit better calls and home teams prolly a lil better calls but other than I think most games are scored pretty fairly

Over the top to say it is ruining sports but I agree with you to a degree. I delay my reaction when I think it may be reviewed. Celebrating a huge play only to have it reversed is devastating.

Yea I mean just like this Florida game I get a huge interception and the guys celebrating and teams walked off the field, refs have signaled change of possession and Im like booyahhhh

Then like every big play 60 secs later they start the 5 min review break and start showing the 5 different camera angles of the play and one of them of course shows that the nose of the ball touched the ground and the call was wrong, 5 mins of reviews later its ruled incomplete and of course immediately after that South Carolina walks in for a TD

I mean sports is about excitement, not knowing what the **** is goin on and watching refs analyze each big play for 5 mins is not exciting, I mean whats the point in celebrating a big diving catch or interception or fumble recovery when you have to wait 5 mins to find out if the call was correct or not, half the time you're celebrating a play thats about to go against you, its fuckin stupid

I appreciate your input here... But I am just saying that if they did not have the system they have today where they have 5 different cameras at 5 different angles, you know how many people would bitch because the call was wrong... But back in the day no one argued with the ref... What they said goes and theres nothing anyone could do about it.

This is why soccer is The Beautiful Game and doesn't allow official video review.

College football has it right. Every play should be reviewable. NFL is a joke with their 'challenges' and crap. Refs make terrible calls and make the coaches rely on challenges to get it right and you only get 2. They need to review all plays in the nFL too.

I'd rather they get the play right. Fine tuning is never a bad thing, but I'd rather the right play be the one that gets called.

With that being said, the "lets get the play off and spike the ball so they can't challenge" is pretty cheezy.

as long as the correct call is made, i don't care

[jjgold]

You might be right guy but you do need it

It has saved many teams from not losing due to a bad call
