Before I go on this rant, I want one thing to be made clear: I have no problem with technology in football. With the innovation of the Video Assistant Referee now in referees’ lockers, certain on-field injustices and obviously fumbled calls can be easily — and rightfully — rectified leading to results that don’t end in abhorrent controversy. Overall, I think that the introduction of VAR is a net positive and has led to more good than bad in the grand scope of things when it comes to making corrections to clear and obvious errors.
New York City FC’s loss to Pumas in Leagues Cup is proof that VAR has gone too far
