Green lazer?

Green lasers are tracers, in that they are fully visable from point A to point B.

Would have been seen by everyone watching the play.

Common red lasers can be seen only AT points A & B.

to be fair and clear

a low resolution internet photo, of a video, from a live event, with overpowering stadium and network lighting, is not necessarily a true depiction of what hit the NFL player in the eyes, on the field, during the game.

This appears to be malicious.

On a bright, clear day, you would need a very powerful laser to be seen anywhere but the source and target. Also, while green is more visible to our eyes, all lasers can be seen, within the spectrum of our vision, if there is sufficient material in the air (typically moisture, smoke, any particles), the ambient light is not too bright, and the laser is sufficiently powerful. The reason green lasers are frequently visible is that green lasers are typically much more powerful than cheap laser pointers people associate with red lasers. A legit (not a cheap cat toy) red laser is a little less visible than a green laser at the same power rating, and many, if not most red lasers misrepresent their output.

Not the way it works. There are red and green tracers, as well as pointers (and some other colors). They are merely frequencies, and you’d see it in between only if there are particulates in the air. On such a cold day, except from the fireworks, not likely.
