Technology in sports is a beautiful thing, but sometimes even the greatest inventions can go wrong. This happened over the weekend in a soccer game in Scotland, when an AI-controlled camera got confused, and thought a lineman’s bald head was the ball.
...To make matters worse Scotland is under strict social distancing measures. With no fans in attendance this was the only ways for fans of Iverness and Ayr United to watch the match, and instead they were treated to 90 minutes of head watching.

Did the ref get top (pun intended) billing?

From now on, the refs uniform must include a wig.

Absolutely. The NFL and NBA is so much better.

VAR is killing soccer, even for us soccer fans, it’s making it unwatchable.

Why does it follow it was ruined? For me it is enhanced. Although, I'm more inclined to view baseball.
