My Position

I believe that many sports should adopt the limited use of video replay. Many of of the sports yet to do this sorely need to because of a constant string of controversial calls. While it is good that many sports do not wish do compromise the way that the game is played, they must realize that the times are changing and that they must modernize the sport as well. This has caused much controversy, because many sports want to leave the sport the same way that it has always and been, and not change anything. But if the technology is available, then there really is no reason not to use it. It will only help the sport progress so that it is completely fair. Recently, Major League Baseball has began to use limited use of video replay to determine whether balls are homeruns and if they are fair or foul balls. This was the right choice, because while modernizing the sport, they have not made the job of the umpire absolete; they still play a major roll in the game of baseball. The NBA uses video replay from time to time to make sure if a player got a shot off in time or not. In the NHL, referees use replay to figure out if the puck went over the goal line. These sports are using video replay but only very limited. They do not review every little thing, because there are specific situations in which they can use video replay. Even tennis is considering using replay to determing whether a shot landed on the line or out of bounds. Many other sports, including soccer, are seriously considering the use of video replay.
