Should VAR Be Fixed Because of Mike Petke, or In Spite of Him?

Say what you will about Mike Petke, but the man makes post-game press conferences interesting. The Real Salt Lake manager followed up his epic 2017 rant following an ejection for arguing about missed fouls with a humdinger after his similar sendoff Saturday versus MNUFC (shield your eardrums, kids):

Petke could have alluded to the episodes of The Simpsons he alleged VAR official Katja Koroleva to be watching (my money’s on a classic Sideshow Bob episode). Instead, he named a trio of notable times where calls made a difference in the game, with cause to single out a foul by Rasmus Schuller in the 21st minute.
