Instant Replay: The Invention That Changed Football Forever

Thesis Statement:

On December 7, 1963, Tony Verna, the inventor of instant replay, took a leap in his career by replaying a touchdown in the annual Navy vs. Army football game on live television. This was a major turning point in sports history because there would be significantly less missed calls that could cost teams the game. Not only did instant replay promote fairness in the sport, but it enhanced the viewer experience as well. Fans were now treated to multiple angles and replays of critical game moments, leading to an explosion in popularity for the sport.
