Technology is great but when it gets in the way of humaness,

then sport is minimized. Robot umpires in baseball, endless reviews in American football, VAR in Premier league. You wonder why it's so unacceptable to admit people make mistakes. Players, managers, referees, linesman all make mistakes and for some reason people want perfection. It's all so easy to fix. In every sport you have the right to challenge one referee decision per game. That's it, use it wisely. When your challenge is gone it's gone and get on with the game/match.
