Should Instant Relays Be Used In Sports?
Have you ever watched a football game and you went to the kitchen to get something to drink or to eat. As you were in the kitchen your team scores a touchdown and you missed the play. Luckily we have instant replay that shows the play you missed. Without the instant replay you would not have known how your team scored. Many people are debating if instant replay should be used in sports. Yes, because instant replays are not just for the people watching the game at home. The referees, sports journalists, athletes and commentators all rely on instant replay. What fans and players hate the most in sports is bad calls. Instant replays are to increase accuracy and make sure that obvious errors are corrected. A contributor for ehow, Craig Berman
says, “Excellent officials may find themselves in poor position to see how a particular play unfolds, or simply miss a call. Instant replay fixes the correctable errors and gets everyone back on the field as if they never happened, helping the athletes on the field decide the game.” even excellent officials can make mistakes but cameras never lie. NCAA Men's Basketball title game duke vs Wisconsin with two minutes to go a call was made that gave duke an upper hand with an out of bound ball but the replay showed that duke was the last one touch the ball before going out of bounds. The referee and the camera see different things but the camera never lies. A camera can show you everything and you can watch it over and over again. Cam Cole writer of “How instant replay is ruining professional sports, one coach’s challenge at a time” says, “Indeed, refereeing has to be the worst job in the world, now that they all live in fear of being shown up by replay”. Officiating hasn't gotten worse. Technology has gotten better. However replays give you a better look at the play with different angles and shots that the human eyes may not of seen. The research clearly show the reasons why sports use instant replay and why they need them. These are new times technology is getting better and cameras just don't lie. The game haven't change just the way we look at it. You can watch plays in different angles, you can watch a play you miss and you can we if there's a foul on the play with you own eyes using instant replays. Should instant replay be use in sports?
