The Need Implementation of Goal-line Technology and the decade long debate behind it clearly indicate towards a specific need in modern day football, that is, the errors made in decision making by human judgement has been continuously identified using replays and this error needs to be rectified using the same technology. The advocates of GLT have also pointed out similar errors like the goal scored by Carlos Tevez against Mexico in 2010 World Cup from an offside position was awarded even after the whole stadium, including the players and referees had seen the replay on the big screen. Since referees are not allowed to rely on replays or video images, referee Roberto Rosetti awarded the goal which shouldn’t have been allowed, he knew.

Because if you don’t prepare and save your body you are hurting your team and teams are what make
Critique: The NFL’s crisis management is downright atrocious. The pure failure of signal detection is what not only caused this game’s outcome from happening but the referee lockout as well. It’s even worse because their crisis management plan should have used the player’s lockout as a reference to prevent the referee lockout. The only thing I think the NFL did correctly in their crisis management is the quickness it took for them to respond to the immediate outrage of fans due to the Packers/Seahawks outcome. The NFL didn’t waste any time in stating that they will be backing up the decision made by the replacement referees however I must ask where that quickness was when the referee’s contract
Ryan Borel Freshman Comp-Res, Anly & Documentation 2-27-2011 Professor Cameron Summary On the website NFL.com, an article was published discussing the argument between players and owners on whether or not the NFL regular season should be extended from the usual sixteen games to an even longer eighteen games. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has already proclaimed that the NFL reserves the right to do such as that is part of the current labor agreement that is set to expire in March.

Policeman of the World Policeman of the World Lucinda Richmond HIS105 12 years after 9/11, and amidst yet another debate on whether to bomb yet another Muslim country, America must stop asking the question, "Why do they hate us?" Forget the debate on Syria, we need a debate on why we're always debating whether to bomb someone. Because we're starting to look not so much like the world's policeman, but more like George Zimmerman: itching to use force and then pretending it's because we had no choice. Now, I'm against chemical weapons, and I don't care who knows it. And there's no doubt a guy like Bashar al-Assad deserves to get blown up: using toxic chemicals on unsuspecting civilians is purely and profoundly evil.
