Does anyone else hate all instant replay reviews in sports?

It has ruined baseball for sure. Made sense for football at the time, but I’d be fine outlawing it across all sports if possible.

Ridiculous. Getting an out or safe call actually correct at 1st base has not ruined baseball.

You have the ability to get it right? Get it right. Especially if you have a dedicated review center on it immediately and umps don’t have to overrule themselves and take 5 minutes

100% agree. I think you should have to slide past or beyond the bag to overturn.

I’ve argued in the past here and convinced friends that a sort of what I call a “hover” rule should be in place. Millimeter pop off directly above the bag doesn’t allow for overturn unless you slide past or miss the bag (if foot still clearly over the top of the bag, you’re still safe despite a “pop off” that requires high def slo-mo zoom-in)

There needs to be like a 30 second timer if you can’t decide which way the calls going it stands.

I think all consequential plays need it. No more though

Can’t it just be ok to have a human element, it’s just entertainment, we are not splitting atoms

You must not be old enough to remember football without replay. It was terrible when calls were obviously wrong and there was no mechanism to review and correct it.

Yes, they get so many wrong there’s no advantage to having it

Refs and umps have become way too awful.

So wait... after years of evolution and innovation, it's illogical that athletes have improved immensely but the officiating hasn't at the highest levels

Tennis does it right. Every other sport still needs improvement.

The whole process needs to be sped up. Show the replay that you can clearly see what the correct call is and call it and go on to the next play. No need for 5 minutes to pass before you move on from it.
