Don't Eliminate the Chain Flag Sets from the Game, Augment them with a First Down Laser Line. For these five very reasonable, good reasons.
Five key things a First Down Laser Line brings to the NFL & College game of football:
1- Safer and easier for players to see where the first down is.
(All Quarterbacks and receivers want this)
2- 100% Accuracy and instant ball placement for the game, its referees and officials who are calling the game.
(Everyone should want this)
3- Enhance in-stadium Fan experience (with a visible line to gain on the actual field itself) as seen at home now with the yellow graphic line on TV.
(The Players, Coaches, Officials and the in-stadium fans, all want this)
4- It will help to prevent spine, head, neck and concussion injuries.
(The players Association wants this, for their players safety and longevity)
5- Shorten the overall game time. Cut out wasted time finding the correct placement of the ball, and always know visibly, when a player makes a first down.
(The NFL, Officials and the Networks, all want this)
CAN YOU IMAGINE PLAYING THE GAME OF FOOTBALL WITHOUT A VISIBLE GOAL LINE? Of course not!
THEN THE FIRST DOWN LINE SHOULD BE VISIBLE TOO.
THERE ARE MORE FIRST DOWNS MADE IN A FOOTBALL GAME, THAN THERE ARE TOUCH DOWNS. YET THE GOAL LINE IS VISIBLE, BUT THE FIRST DOWN IS NOT.
