Obsolete Officials on the Field?

Too bad technology isn't making most announcers better

Watch the Yankee broadcasts. Many a time I've heard the announcers correct themselves after someone off air looked up a rule.

The reason why you cant take officials off the field is that anytime there is a "play", you'd have to stop play at each action. Things would turn to chaos and go forever, if you'd have to wait to the end of the playing action before rulings are made. There's not a single sport that I can think of off the top of my head that you could pull officials off the field, hockey would be close in some areas)
