Meanwhile in the NFL or NBA players get penalized for sneezing too loud near the refs.

This is a full out toddlers temper tantrum, like they dont even let you behave this way in kindergarten. Dude should be embarrassed that he did that in public.. let alone on a broadcast

Jayson Tatum got a technical for clapping out of frustration. Rules are really weird

If there’s one thing all sports have in common, if you embarrass the referee/judge, you will be penalized.

My favorite part about baseball is that some managers will deliberately get tossed by the Plate Umpire as a show of solidarity to a player.

It's part of the fun of baseball. Manager gotta front up to get the "You're outta here" finger.

Yeah, I prefer to talk about the things kindergartens get to that I don't get to. Like mid day naps in their schedule.

I think he should have gotten a warning + point penalty and more considering he smashed three in a row. That said players do get penalized for outbursts especially with regard to officials. Djokovic got thrown out of the us open for hitting a ball at lone judge not that long ago.

Or showing the referee camera evidence that their call was wrong.

Bringing a camera on field deserves to get you tossed. Call has to be made real time, refs don’t get the opportunity to get multiple takes of the play.

Which is not the case with VAR in soccer, already proven instrumental for better calls.

I’m sorry, when was the last time a ref kicked someone out for using the VAR?

Patrick Beverley was penalized for proving the referee he was blind. Bringing in camera evidence to support a correct referee call is the essence of VAR.

He was suspended for challenging a call using VAR?

Penalized by the referee for bringing in video evidence that the referee was blind, yes.

Oh wait, that’s a totally diffent thing. /s

Ah, so he didn’t use a proper challenge system, he just brought a random camera onto the court. Correct me if I’m wrong, no one has been suspended for correctly challenging for a video review in any sport?

fane1967 t1_j88x1fd wrote

Never knew that whatever anyone (e.g. bystander or reporter) could video record and present in a non-edited fashion is worth discarding.

You see, being occasionally wrong is not such a big deal. Rejecting evidence that shows you’re wrong is just plain stupid.

You understand the referees legally can’t overturn a call based on that right? No, you probably don’t.

Which is why this arbitrary fallacy-prone system needs to evolve.

Yeah! It’d be great to have players and coaches running out with cameras after every play.

Tennis players do get penalized for smashing racquets, they just don't show it in the clip. On top of that, Yonex, which is his racquet sponsor, also fines their players for smashing their racquets.

I’m surprised he only got a warning. I’ve seen tennis players be ejected for the doing the same thing to just one.
