Technology brings out best in sport this decade

From the DRS – decision review system, the VAR – video assistant referee, and the TMO – television match official, the beauty of adjudicating the validity of human achievements is not left to the eye of mere mortals, but confirmed through a web of algorithms, an array of cameras and the swiftness of communicating with off-field officials.

Football began using goal-line technology in 2012 before it trialled its VAR in 2016 and officially endorsed it at last year’s World Cup in Russia. However, it has been only in the past decade that the proliferation of technology has seeped into nearly all professional sports in some way, shape or form.

Mistakes have been made and will be made and if technology can’t eliminate them, then what’s the point? Yet, as many proponents have suggested, it’s not about completely eliminating mistakes but rather making fairer, more-unbiased decisions.
