Pylon Camera
The NFL is hands down the most popular sport in America. The NFL uses replays on so many of the plays to determine is it was a catch, fumble, in/out of bounds, or a touchdown or not. So how can the NFL help the replay officials in New York to make the calls easier? Well the NFL debuted the pylon camera this year to make plays on the goal line and the back of the end zones easier for referees to call. A lot of time during the NFL games you see plays happen right on the goal line and the referees don't know if the ball crossed the goal line or not, and they don't have a good enough replay angle to make the call. Now the NFL brought the pylon camera into play, this camera gives the replay officials the ability to see if the ball did or did not cross the goal line before the player was down or out of bounds. This change the NFL is making is a change that is better for the game, this camera determines if it is a touchdown or not which could be the call that determine if a team wins or loses a game. So unlike the robot umpire behind the plate for baseball, the pylon camera for football is a change that is needed for the game and makes it better.
