Genuinely torn on this, want the correct call obviously, but something about the flow of a game getting interrupted for minutes at a time bothers me more than I expected it to

Where do people actually land on this now that review has had years to become fully normal across most major sports

Hate it honestly, the accuracy gain doesn't feel worth how much it kills the actual momentum and atmosphere of a live game

Depends entirely on the sport for me, works fine in some, ruins the pacing in others where flow matters more

Josh_79

Yeah completely agree it's gotten out of hand, feels like every close call now takes longer to review than it took to actually happen

Fraction

Honestly think it's worth the wait, I'd rather sit through a delay than see an obviously wrong call decide something important

Weirdly I've come around on it over the years, initially hated the delays and now appreciate the fairness more than I resent the interruption

Wandering Matt

Same complaint I've had for years, the technology's fine, it's the actual review process and communication that's painfully slow in practice

Drifter

Nah still against it even knowing that, some human error has always been part of sport and I think we've lost something removing it entirely
