Swadius 2.0 said:Why do referees still exist as they do? With all the technology and cameras that focus on each and every player, why aren't the referees more coordinated with the footage that comes off of all that?
Tradition, mainly. I'd rather it was not changed too drastically. Mainly because officiating decisions are always a talking point. People get too angry with referees, and it makes me wonder why referees want to put up with as much of the **** as they do.
And the reason referees aren't as coordinated with technology is because if they make a decision, and then technology shows the wrong one, it would cut down the authority that the referee would have during the match, and I think it would make it that much more difficult to officiate matches.
I think things along the line of the goal-line technology that they have would be good. Or something along the lines of how rugby referees can use video technology.

They're like a stupid version of the mafia.
And this.
