RE: Killing discourse: The Eye of God

Hi taraz. I am a rugby referee and was destined for professional levels until I was robbed with my back injury. The system was bought in to make sure the right decision wins at the end of the day. There are fortunes to be made and lost and careers hinging on decisions. It is crucial to get right and technology has allowed this to happen. I understand it has taken away conversation pieces from mates but it stops cheating. referees never had the respect of the players because they weren't professional and could hoodwink them, not any more.

Sort:  

that is fine so, introduce the post-match check also to stop the thing that hurts the game the most for fans (in my opinion).. diving. And yes, there are fortunes to be made and lost .. while cancer researchers go begging. Again my opinion but, there is way, way too much money surrounding sport and entertainment these days.

Way too much money I agree. The importance is outweighed as it is just sport ,it is not life and death. the amount of money these guys get is totally absurd. No one is worth $300 000 a week.
