My Definition: Any aspect of an athletic event that requires any kind of judgment or action from a person or a group of people that is subject to human error.
Video instant replay was not validated originally developed with consideration of adjusting the concentration of the human element but instead to minimize the number of human errors.
The addition of video instant replay technology was intended to make athletic events more exciting for spectators, to increase spectator revenue, and most importantly modernize athletics for viewer predilection.
This debate on whether or not the use of instant video replay technology should be expanded or contracted during athletic events eventually developed from a respectable number of stakeholders believing that the technology’s use has transcended necessity and desire.
