Plus it would keep theft of players down. Don't know how many times now I've seen someone try to sneak out of Madison Square Garden with Mats Zuccarello under their arm.

True.
But endurance sports have used them because the entire sport is based on output expended over time performing the same activity over and over again.
The NFL and the other big 4 sports are so much more complex as have so many variables to track given the nature of team sports.
It's really useless comparing the two given how simple one is (endurance sports) and how complex dynamic team sports are.
I'm a bit more surprised the NFL is behind soccer in using the chips though it may be a bit more useful in soccer than football.
Yeah, I don't see it, they already have video reviews to find and correct poor positioning, why would RFID chips suddenly make coaches obsolete? It's not like the chip will force guys into position.
Soccer has gotten more offensive and scoring is up the last 5-10 years, and they've used RFID chips for a while, it's ofc not linked but it obviously didn't make it too easy coaching defense either.
For a guy named Pioneer you're surprisingly conservative
"The ocean is never ending and you will sail off the edge of the world", said someone to Columbus. And we all know how that went. This world needs problem solvers not hands over shrugged shoulders.
I'm trying to imagine a single benefit.
Seems to have no value as a coaching tool either. Ok so player A moved more quickly than player B. Well, maybe player B was in a better position and so didn't have to hustle.
The reason you don't see it is because you do not understand what it can do. Or I at least hope thats why.
Also a good way to better measure when players get tired at the end of a shift - obviously, there are players who can take longer shifts without faltering, but who (and how long)?
What can it do that would make watching hockey a more entertaining experience?
Football I can understand. So much standing around that the more stats and neon colored lines they can populate the screen with, the better.
