VAR Has One Job, And It's Failing Miserably At It: The most common complaint against VAR—or any form of video review in sports—in one of aesthetics. If referees insist on stopping the game for several minutes to double check every key play, the thinking goes, all the drama and intensity and emotion of the biggest moments will be lost, and the celebrations of fans will be replaced by hesitance and trepidation while they wait to confirm that what they just saw with their own eyes actually happened. It’s a fine argument, one that at least a strong minority of sports fans would agree with. But most leagues around the world have chosen to ignore it. If the game gets delayed for a bit, they’ve decided, that’s okay, because it’s a small price to pay to avoid controversy and make sure officials are making an objectively correct call.

Speaking of the way youth soccer is reffed, does anyone else have the experience of refs being real sticklers about how the ball is thrown in. I recall refs frequently calling for a throw-in do-over because one foot came off the ground or because the ball went over a shoulder instead of straight over the head. All the more interesting to me, as I can't help but notice pro footballers getting away with these same throws. To this day, I'm not actually sure if those throws were actually against the rules or if the leagues were just trying to make some point via refereeing.
