Which seems like an easy thing they could have done years ago. I'm not all that familiar with what tech they're planning to use here, but it'd be pretty easy to put a laser in the first down marker and turn it on when they need to make a "measurement" rather than taking 2-3 minutes for the chain gang tome out and do their thing.

That's even more reeruned. A "technical innovation" that will pinpoint exactly where the 70 year old geriatric referees determine the ball should be placed. If you're going to use tech do it properly and take out the refs being ****ing blind and stupid factor instead.

Or they'll make everyone wear suits with sensors. This is the chiefs game day gear in 2027, as modeled by CEH.

I thought about a sci-fi story that featured football that was reffed by advanced technology. The players had suits with sensors all over them that could determine who is in possession of the ball, illegal contact, forward progress... and so on. The technology probably isn't that far away but the cost, I imagine, would be very high.
