I still have ZERO clue why we're asking referees on a field of 100+ yards to run with athletes and make these decisions based on actions that happen in seconds, all the while possibly having a skewed angle.

Why in the world of fuck are ALL these penalties not reviewed by refs in the booth? We already have NFL long time referees giving their judgment call after watching replay footage, so why not just make it live? There's not THAT many personal foul penalties in a game... just take an extra 5 minutes total and have someone review em' with the amazing technology we have today that allows slo-mo in 4K quality that a blind man could make a decision off of.

Same thing with MLB... why we haven't switched to a computer generated system calling balls/strikes is just stupid.

"It's tradition!"

Seriously, if anyone uses that argument, they should be shot in the face. No trial, shot.

Because they don’t want 4 hour games.
