Re: Video Review Needs to Happen Now

Lots of people are comparing FRC to the NFL/NHL/MLB/Nascar and saying that we should have video replay like they do. Please remember that This is a game for High School Students. As far as I am aware, High School sports do not have video replays for if/when the officials make a bad call, and if what I have heard from the stands at a high school sporting event from the parents is any indication, all the officials do is make mistakes*.

Yes I understand that bad calls can make or break a season, and it sucks. However, instead of trying to spend a lot of money and time to make this whole big procedure to make sure it doesn't happen lets instead, as mentors, use this opportunity to teach our students about making the most out of a bad situation and treating people with dignity and respect.

*I do not think that officials at high school games get everything wrong, just pointing out that that is what the parents would like you to think when a call is/isn't called for/against their child.
