After 18 seasons with the Green Bay Packers, Rodgers was traded to the New York Jets in 2023 - only four plays into his debut before suffering a ruptured left Achilles tendon and breaking.

Rodgers was raised playing football in Chico, California and achieved several passing records at his high school before attending Butte College and later University of California Berkeley.

1. VAR is spoiling the game

The widespread perception that VAR has brought ruin to football is both false and an unfortunate overreaction. While it has made some incorrect calls at times, its use has actually increased substantially more frequently than expected and only slightly reduced goals scored per match.

The primary issue lies with the time taken to reach decisions, as well as lack of communication between on-field referee and VAR during reviews. This situation must be corrected immediately.

VAR use has also created new issues. Take offside decisions as an example: due to how the offside line is drawn, any player who touches an onside teammate could be penalised even though no referee had seen anything suspicious happen; there needs to be changes made so only obvious and serious offenses are reviewed by VAR.

2. It’s a distraction

VAR has not contributed to improving refereeing decisions; on the contrary, its implementation has created additional confusion over whistler calls on the pitch. Whether this be due to poor communication from refereeing staff or technology being inaccurate at times, football has become consumed with discussions over VAR decisions.

Distraction from the game and difficulty in enjoying it has created an unpleasant atmosphere, not only among managers but also with fans voicing their ire over its implementation.

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers likened modern football to a computer game after Daizen Maeda was harshly sent off after VAR review in their 6-0 defeat at Atletico Madrid. Maeda initially received yellow for dangling an ankle during a 50-50 challenge with Mario Hermoso; however, after consulting the pitch-side monitor this decision was upgraded by VAR review and sent off for violent conduct.

3. It’s a waste of time

Though many fans would welcome an end to VAR use in football, its removal seems unlikely any time soon. After all, it would be challenging for leagues, federationss and confederations to abandon its use simultaneously.

Technology's introduction has caused major disruption in a sport that thrives on rhythm. Not only has this caused confusion in the stands, but also caused delays as referees and assistants try to review incidents.

Officiating football can be an arduous endeavor that demands eight-10 years of hard work and training to master, which makes mistakes inevitable. Blaming those errors on VAR would be unfair; its goal should have been to correct clear errors; unfortunately, however, its implementation often diverts attention away from what should have been a useful system aimed at correcting obvious errors while instead altering events out of context or altering atmosphere - not something anyone expected when VAR first came into effect.

4. It’s a risk

Football will always have its critics, even when successful. After an embarrassing error like Luis Diaz being disallowed for offside against Liverpool last weekend should have been enough for anyone calling for its abolishment to look foolish - just as those who said backpass laws were ruining the game back in 1992 did.

VAR poses a risk to the game and should be abandoned due to its disruption. Any benefits gained come at the cost of uncertainty for supporters when they should be feeling excited, while it perpetuates bad practices (such as diving). It hasn't had the desired impact; perhaps now is time for it to go.
