    TV Replays

    The ONLY reason instant replay was ever called for, and then instated, was because television viewers got to see replays a dozen times over, in slow motion, and from every conceivable angle. Show a game on TV in real time with no replays, and barely a peep would be heard from anyone.

    So the media has altered the game it's supposed to cover objectively. No news here, but officiating-by-replay is an interesting case study.
