Thank you for reading!

 Since the beginning of this blog, we've discussed a few things involving a variety of sports, including football, soccer, tennis, and more. I've had a great time writing this blog which really got me out of my comfort zone regarding my writing ability. 

Discussing sports and doing sports research is something that I have always really enjoyed, but I never knew I would be capable of doing some kind of blog such as this. However, with my life getting more and more busy and being on the brink of graduation from college, I have decided that I am going to call Halftime Headlines to a halt. 

This has been a great learning experience and I have enjoyed these weekly blogs. Making weekly picks between teams turned out to also be a great test of my knowledge and I enjoyed coming back every week to see how my predictions turned out along with my analysis and breakdown of the two sides.

I want to thank everyone who has tuned in and followed my blog throughout the course of this semester. Hopefully I can pick it up again when I have some more free time!

Welcome to Halftime Headlines!

Hey everyone, My name is Mason Gough. I'm a communications student with a marketing minor at Salisbury University. I'm starting this blog as a part of a sports communications class I'm currently taking with Dr. Burns. I've always been super interested in sports and played soccer growing up ever since I was old enough to kick a ball. However, I've been a fan of all sports and got my first taste of the sports communication/marketing world when I had the opportunity to intern for the Delmarva Shorebirds, a triple-A farm team for the Baltimore Orioles. I plan on updating this blog throughout the semester with current and relevant topics that are happening throughout the sports world. Hope you follow along!

Is VAR ruining soccer? An opinion on technology’s impact on “the beautiful game”

Over the course of the past few years, VAR , or video assistant referee technology has left many football/soccer fans torn over whether technology truly has a place in the game. This VAR technology was originally created to reduce human error when making decisions regarding fouls and penalties. However, it is becoming increasingly clear that VAR technology is causing more harm than good throughout the sport. As a result, VAR has changed the natural flow, emotion and overall experience of the average soccer match, which are core components of this historical sport. All soccer fans and players have had an experience with a bad referee at one point or another. Whether it be a late or questionable offside call, a game-altering red card, or a penalty decision that changes the momentum of the game, these errors have haunted the sport since its creation. One notorious instance of these pre-VAR problems occurred during the 1986 World Cup match between Argentina and England . Diego Maradon...
