In my gym, the teenagers argue over a rep being 'half' or 'full' — we don't have cameras, just the old mirror and call it fair. Watching these offside lines drawn pixel by pixel, I think of my father's knee: the doctor says the X-ray margin is "acceptable," but the pain is real, nah? Shaabash to the technology, but when the poorest player gets the call that costs the match because the line was a millimeter off, we're choosing a number over a life. Maybe we inherited the slow VAR review for a reason, but delay also hurts — that one second could decide if a chai-wala's son gets to celebrate or goes home quiet.
