I believe this anti-VAR narrative is coming from groups interested in a return to the days of rampant bullshit decisions, and you can all speculate as to why that would be something that anyone would be want.
The fact is that we get more decisions right because of VAR, and should be working to improve the process in order to lessen the negative impacts it is having, which are still better than the negative impacts that wrong decisions have on the sport.
Everytime I see someone say they think VAR should go, I try to remind them of the days of blatant dives in the box being rewarded with penalties. Yes, VAR is far from perfect, but I don't have to watch my team get punished for 100% blatant dives
