Has anyone ever considered that the imperfection of human beings enhances some things, especially when it’s basically theatre?
Yes, that’s literally why they still have umpires in baseball. We could put sensors in everything and track balls and strikes in real time. AI cameras could track every player in a basketball or hockey game for penalties. We don’t because the leagues like having the drama (and the potential to tip the scales).
To a degree, but they’d better not break out a piece of paper to measure again.
Bringing the chain out is one of the most gripping things that happens in football. It’s like the game end pass or kick, but mid-game.
Part of me wants to replace all officiating in sports with bots but then you do lose a lot of the drama. You can’t exactly challenge an AI
Not compromising on baseball though. Balls and strikes should not be called by a human
Isn’t that what they’re doing in the UFL?
