its 50/50 actually
they both have pluses and minuses

Well, they have brought it into some sports already, such as Rugby. Yes, there are delays while the referees check, but people get used to them.

If it was brought into football, the referee wouldn't have to use it all the time. Maybe only for on the goal line when there is controversy about goals. If the game was stopped for every foul, that would just ruin the game. These goal line accidents, don't happen very often in the game. Maybe whethere or not goals are offside  could be decided by a video, if the referee isn't sure.
