except the main argument justifying its existence was "because what if a bad decision costs a team a grand final" then went on to have bad decision cost a team a grand final.
id say that was controversial.
and once you get that moniker, it sticks.
Its like people still referring to Robert Redford as a 'sex symbol' even though he looks like real life Deadpools dad now.
Therefore VAR is gonna carry that 'controversial' moniker for a while at least.
agree though, its good when its good, but when its honking, its honking.
much like refs.
