With the use of Hawkeye at Wimbeldon Centre Court this year, instant replay to decide calls on the field gets a wider audience.
Here in the States, instant replay has been used for just about 25 years in the NFL, and for specific cases in Professional Hockey and Basketball games, and also in Collegiate sports. There are still some that have either been hard to design for or just unwilling to implement it for reasons that are mainly personal in nature.
How do you feel about it? Can using this either bring clarity to sporting events in the handling of close or controversial calls, or cause consternation because of interrupting 'the nature of the game'?
Discuss, please. :)
