Opinion Prompt:

I think video review is fine for sports in general. I think the technology is necessary for sports because no one wants sports to be decided off errors in referee decisions. Refs are only human and are bound to make mistakes in their calls in real time. It's a thankless job that is extremely difficult, so the presence of video review is great to improve on the margins and be sure to reach an improved number of correct decisions. The main problem in my eyes is that refs tend to become over reliant on the technology and break up the pace of the game as a result. If a ref second guesses their initial call while watching the review, they can tend to take several minutes mulling over their decision, and I don't think anyone wants that. Improving on the timeliness and fluidity of technology in the game is what is needed to make it a flawless and necessary part of the game, if it isn't already. (168 words)
