NFL claims technology can't spot the ball

The NFL has heard the criticism of its no-tech approach to determining whether the football made it to the line to gain.

So we can put a man on the moon, build all kinds of technology, but we can't locate a ball

Hmmm....

Bullcrap. The Premier League and soccer and determine if a ball crosses the goal line within millimeters.

What the NFL is trying to say is that they don't want to pay the expense of having this technology.

The difference is that in soccer the league only has to implement the technology on the two goal lines, whereas the NFL would have to do it on any area of the field. I don't know anything about the technology, but this could be the obstacle.

True, but we now have 16k TVs and cameras. You might need to install 30-50 cameras in the stadiums. They could install the technology if they wanted to, again at a price. Also, it isn't like we have a promotion/relegation system where the technology would need to be installed in different stadiums each year.

That's only one technology. They could add a second or a 3rd RFID chip as technology as well.

The NFL has been quietly testing technology for years now. YEARS! There's no excuse to not implement it by now. The good thing is that this is causing enough of a stir that something might actually get done.
