Here's a question then. How many changes of Law have there been in other sports in order to accommodate VAR?
Cricket = 0: Tennis = 0: Rugby League very few that I can think of, if any: Rugby Union, no idea, however, there was confusion at the recent World Cup when some players received upgraded cards which lots of people disagreed with.

Since they started experimenting with VAR in 2016 and just up to the end of 2019/20 season there were 178 change to the Laws of the Game and their interpretation. Since then there have been quite a number of other changes, including changes to the changes introduced previously.
It used to be a simple game which was enjoyed by plenty, however, it is now very poor show business and is full of 'ham' actors at the top level, they can't even make a dive look good.
