MLS commissioner Don Garber advocates instant-replay technology in soccer
SI.com
Q&A with MLS commish Garber

I say don't temper with it and let be, the more technology gets into sports it takes away from how the game has been played all these years. Wrongs calls and bad refes are part of the game. Fifa won't allow it at first place.

[mchughes]

please, if technology can make sure calls are correct than i say do it. all this "bad calls are part of the game" crap is stupid. Why not make it NOT part of the game.

Good for him, now do something productive and raise the salary cap as well as loosening some rules on academy players and talent acquisition so that those teams with the means can push this league forward. k thx bye

Looks like the Don isn't going anywhere for a while.

Like he said more pressing issues are at hand to worry about instead IRT..
I don't mind DG for a long time to come.
That doesn't sound right, does it?...
I don't mind DG to be MLS's Commish for a long time.

The first half-hour of [the L.A.-Houston game] finished with a 1.4 rating, which is four times our weekly rating. The stadium lights went out, and obviously it was a West Coast game that finished at 3 in the morning on the East Coast, so we didn't expect to keep a rating at that level.

A 1.4 for part of an MLS game? Great news, even though it didn't last...

We will get that on Sunday hopefully the entire game.

Hooliganism and violence are a part of the game.

Bribery and scandals are a part of the game

Diving and feigning injury are a part of the game

Because something is a part of the game, we shouldn't seek to eliminate it?

It does sound like he's getting a little tired on the job, and is already looking ahead to retirement down the line:

SI.com: In that case, thanks. Last question: A few days ago, you said you wouldn't be in this position in 10 or 15 years. How much longer do you see yourself in this job?

Garber: I certainly hope I can lead this sport for many more years. But boy, this is a tough job. I believe I have the toughest job in sports, because I've got the same issues every other commissioner has in promoting the sport, growing revenues, dealing with on- and off-the-field issues. But I'm doing it in soccer, which has its own challenges in this country. So it's fair to say I've gotten a little older than my 52 years. And that being said, I hope I can do it for a while longer.

I was talking about the wrong and missed calls. You added the others.
