Session Start/End Time: 16:00 ~ 17:00
Summary:
Title: Rejecting Technology: A Normative Defense of Fallible Officiating
By Dr. Christopher Johnson
There is a growing consensus in both academic and popular reflections on sport that if the accuracyof officiating can be improved by technology then such assistance ought to be introduced. Indeed,apart from certain practical concerns about technologizing officiating there are few normative
objections, and those that are voiced are often poorly articulated and quickly dismissed by critics.
In this paper we take up one of these objections - what is referred to the loss of the human elementin sport - and try to provide a firmer foundation for the disquiet that some feel at the threat of its
loss. Briefly, it is argued that the cost of trying to eliminate all error in officiating throughtechnological means is an understanding of sport as a practice through which human beings canreconcile themselves with the fallibilities and contingencies of life, in a forum where such losses cansafely be experienced. After considering both practical and normative counter-arguments against
the implementation of technology to correct officiating errors, we offer an argument that fallible
officiating should be seen as desirable and that an attitude in sport that seeks to eliminate all
wrong decision-making in officiating should be discouraged.
