The more technology gets in, the less necessary the umpires would be. Where do NFL officials get their training? Is it as good as the current umpire system in place? No need to earn a place, cameras will do the work for you.

Why meet any of the requirements? 20/20, no need. Just be able to look at a screen and you can make it as an umpire to MLB. Good job.

Leave technology out and leave the human elements in. It's more fun. Can't argue with a camera or computer. Let Bobby Cox yell at a screen or Lou Pinella kick dirt on a camera. To heck with part of the show people come to see. That is taken out by IR. If one disagrees about a call at 1B, let's just go to the screen. The umpire should call all close ones safe and then go to the screen to see if they were really out if is an inning ending call.
