Not a fan. Don’t like headsets in NFL and less in college. The more technology involved, the more it becomes a video game. Let’s just have coaches play the game on Madden. QBs calling plays were once part of the game.

MLB has moved to technology calling pitches. Movement to introduce technology calling balls and strikes. Catcher signs, umpire zone were part of the game.

My enthusiasm for all sports seems to decline each year as new technology or rules are introduced.

Let’s just let teams compete and settle it on the field minus the technology.

On another note. I watched some old clips of nfl and college games. Announcing was so much better. Todays telecasts are so bad. Don’t call the game, talk over the game with their personal opinions. I would love to never see another Nexgen stat.

I am kinda meh on the pitcher/catcher comms system replacing signs. At the end of the day, it was introduced to eliminate those situations where signs get crossed, and the pitcher and catcher have to get off the mound and get on the same page that slow down the game. It wasn't introduced to take away the skill/art of signals.

But electronic strike zones are an absolute must. Imagine a basketball player shooting a jumper, it swishing, but the ref says it didn't go in the hoop. That is happens in baseball when a pitcher throws a strike and it is called a ball by some retard like Angel Hernandez.
