No doubt. Every catch is imperfect and the ball is at least spinning a little in a guy's hands when you have slow enough film.

THANK YOU
usually the rules in pickup games and whatnot are that it's a catch if you come up with it and the ball doesn't touch the ground. It seems like that should
be the rule at the boundaries too if you were established in the field of play or the end zone

And you can’t allow it to happen when you have dozens of HD cameras seeing it from numerous angles.
Right… but how often do they show you all those angles and then still frick it up? Makes it even worse when everyone knows something happened but they stick with the call on the field because it’s “inconclusive”.
Also leads to over officiated plays like catches in football or a base stealer coming one count hair off the bag and getting called out even though he beat the throw. It’s made the last minutes of a hoops game unwatchable.
When you factor in how it ruins the flow of the game, I think it’s been a net negative.

I’m with you
What started as a good thing to avoid complete on field blunders by the refs has turned into complete minutiae that slows down the game and makes the simple things overly complex, like what a catch is.

Baseball has been fine, but it's put the light on the fact we need Auto-Balls/Strikes
For Football, its the fact they can't retroactively make call retardedly missed calls (a la Saints/Rams NFCCG). Also the ball needs to get microchipped.
Haven't seen a bad call in the NHL in a long time.
The NBA on the other hand, might make some of the stupidest fricking reviews after flagrant fouls, where the league choosing an outcome might be the only logical answer.

My biggest problem with replay is it has taken away from the thrill of watching a game. You can never celebrate fully because there's always that possibility that the play will be reviewed and overturned. I am not arguing to completely get rid of replay, but there is something lost from an experience standpoint.

No there’s many times I’ve watched a play and think there’s no way this or that happened and then after further review I was wrong as shite.
Now we have some shitty officals time to time- & game up game, but they do have a pretty fricking hard job.

F no. Refs and umps have become way too awful.
People are way too dramatic
Yall also forget the ones they get right. Sometimes I’m blown away that they get these calls right in games. Everything is just so over analyzed these days

They should get them all right. It’s called being competent at your job.

I truly believe your massive ego stops you from seeing how foolish of a statement this is
I mean you’ve gotta be trolling, right? Or are you 14?
Do you ever make mistakes at your job? Honestly…

No. It doesn't bother me.

I think all consequential plays need it
Ok...and therein lies the human element that never left but became misplaced.
Who decides consequential to inconsequential?
Ball is spotted wily-nilly all game but inside two minutes in a close game we have to bust out a microscope to see if he made the yard? And don't get me started on the self-proclaimed physics professors in the replay booth analyzing movement on a catch like it was the Zapruder film. Replay doesn't "get it right" when plays suddenly "matter"...it just adds more human folly and brings the game and the viewing experience to a dead halt. Ever wonder why football games never seem to have a flow to them anymore?

I’ve never understood the day games during the week… do they not want fans there?
People work, and with the price of tickets these days , can’t afford to not get paid and go to the games.
Weekends- cool.
Weekdays - not
