What are you on about? Sports aren't ruined in the states because of instant replay. That's one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard. The NBA has probably some of worst examples of the overuse of instant replay and it's viewership has still increased over the last 5 years. The NFL has had replay since the mid 80s and is still the most popular sport in the US (in fact, they added MORE reviewable events after the Saints vs Rams debacle in the playoffs). Literally every major American sport has replay an there are no talks to remove it.It might improve with technology but it will get more and more prevalent. In 5 years you will be a “sports purist” clamouring for the good old days of pre-var matches. I say this because I have seen sports ruined in the States. Starting with instant replay and superimposed lines on the tv with graphics out of control. It’s coming. There will be offside lines moving back and forth on your screen. There will be other graphics too just to keep the viewers informed and up to date on the latest var angle ect..You will accept it as improving the game. 5-10 years from now you will be a disgruntled feck like me.
And no, I will never be a sports purists. They are insufferable, short-sighted, and almost always wrong.
