The Effect of the Instant Replay in the NFL

Instant replay is a technology that allows broadcast of a previously occuring event using recorded video. This is most commonly used in sports; by on television to replay previous plays for the viewer, often from other angles than shown in the main broadcast, and also on video screens at live events. The footage is often played at a slow motion frame rate to allow more detailed analysis by the viewer and commentators. More advanced technology has allowed for more complex replays, such as pausing, and viewing the replay frame by frame.

Not just for the viewers and announces the referees and the NFL started to use the instant replay as a plus in the NFL. In 2004 the NFL really started using the instant replay changes the rules and letting each team be able to use it more often. Instant Replay is a huge part of digital media and the NFL decided to use more of the positives to digital media and bring instant replay into the league. Since Instant Replay has been in the NFL it almost gets used every game and has changed many outcomes of crucial plays. NCAA football believed this was a good idea and started using instant replay in college football in 2006. The MLB is beggining to use and I believe in the future it will be a huge part of the MLB.
