The different lines on a court are boundaries for certain things, like serving. When calling a match, for fair play, the ball has to at least touch the line when it’s compressed by maximum downward force. So a ball that looks like it didn’t touch the line may very well have but a ball at a lower velocity may not. That’s why there are two officials with good views of the boundaries.
So not only are we talking a lot of cameras, most would need to do super-slo-mo and be cost prohibitive. They would also have to account for velocity and why on earth am I writing about tennis scoring at 1am omg I have to go to sleep.
Hope this helps!
E: this is confusing because I’m tired. I can explain it better tomorrow 🤪

Bollocks. He worked as part of the government. He got rich thanks to the government. Football is a sportwashing project for him.

I haven’t seen a lions highlight be the first Not Top Ten highlight for 52 weeks in a row, it was the first time they stopped it
Edit: forgot about the thanksgiving we found out that Avenatti ripped off my uncle for $20k, think that was 2016 but the sting of the butt fumble still burns deeper

The Lions have 1 playoff win in the Super Bowl era. 57 years. Top that.

What it breaks down into is this: One player cannot dominate a game of baseball like they can in soccer or basketball. The greatest hitter only hits once every nine batters. The best defensive wizards can only field the balls hit to them. The highest caliber starting pitcher will (usually) only pitch once every 5 games, and usually not a full game. The best relievers usually only work 1 inning (3 outs) at a time.
No matter how good Ohtani and Trout are, they can only do so much to influence any given game.

I don't think being there every season is the point tho. I don't strive for that for my club
It's about good football to me and achieving a better result than last season
For sure, without billionaires teams cannot convert their fortunes in a few years. But it can happen in a span of a decade or something. It definitely can happen. We get suprise winners a lot these days
But the new rules are still a problem. Idk I personally feel if things can be fair for every club. Money won't affect football that much.

And look at west ham this season. You can get lucky with a decent squad, but without billionaires behind a team you won't be there every season, which, since Liverpool in the 70s/80s and Man Utd in the 90s/00s is what fans want. Best case you get your squad together in a year the big clubs are rebuilding and end up pulling a Leicester, though they're now back in a relegation fight.

Those guys got off real easy too. They went to court. Got probation. Loss of winnings and a boat they won. Lifetime ban but who cares. No jail time for cheating.

This is my take on it
If FIFA fix the schedule, bring 3 Subs only back and fix some other rules.... Money genuinely doesn't affect football that much. It affects it, but not to THAT degree
Liverpool didn't need expensive signings to win UCL, Arsenal this season, even clubs like Brighton or West Ham
You don't need expensive signings
Real Madrid is sorta the only club where money seems to affect how they play. But that's always been their DNA, hate the club but respect how they make a system out of picking random stars from everywhere

I know a life long Inter fan, like this guy knows football history, knows everything, he's sorta like a ultra, but I was in utter shock when he was begging to be bought by Saudis.
But look at Brighton, or Liverpool (don't spend much) or West Ham last season, Arsenal this season. I shouldn't be saying this even as a Barca fan, but to some extent even Barca with Pedri/Gavi/Araujo. These weren't expensive signings.
I still feel talent can overshadow money. Its just that how modern football is with the schedules and the new rules that you need money.
Schedules need fixing and 3 subs only need to be brought back

Just need to invent a Time Machine and go back and attach Sanchez’s arm to Penningtons body and we might have a shot at the Super Bowl.

A ban from tennis is not a charge, it’s a punishment.
