Re: This year we need instant replay
Stu for President!
Please go see the other 437 threads where I explained my views on this topic.
We are SUPPOSED to be actively engaged in a culture-changing activity that focuses on what is truly important in our society so all of mankind makes progress.

How on EARTH would instant replay ever help get that done?
It would only INCREASE the incidences of red-faced people who want to have calls changed (because we've elevated the importance of the on-field competition) and ultimately we'd become this angry bunch of individuals, lose the overall message, and turn into what we all see WAY too much of in our community athletic programs.

We are different, on purpose, for a reason. No one in FIRST should EVER forget that.

OK....rant over.... carry on
