This is something I feel very strongly about. Electronics should be kept at a minimum in professional sports. Electronic replays and reviews hurt every sport, including football. Watching the guys wait on a technical review makes everything worse off.
To the point, here's some examples where electronics make sense(if they are already used). 1, the sensor in hockey to tell when the puck has entered the scoring area. 2, Electronic sensing equipment in fencing and martial arts. 3, radios in the guys helmets. 4, real time box reviews where the game isn't interupted by the review. 5, scoring sensors in basketball 6, American Football fouls where the outcome of the game is dependant on a ruling 7, Shooting and projectile sports where the scoring area can be digitized 8, Racing where small tolerances are necessary
I could go on and on about the gray area of electronics in sports. The point is that electronics are helpful where they are necessary and functional, and not necessary everywhere else.
