This must mean on their uniforms while they are playing.
Not under their skin — while they are punching out women in elevators.
As a self professed avid baseball fan, how would you feel if a reliable electronic system was developed to automatically call balls and strikes?
We don’t want them to get lost on the field
The league might should consider electronic monitoring devices for a lot of their players during the off season too.
How about mini-MRIs in the helmets to instantly record brain damage and report it up on the screen.
Put these chips on the ball and quit arguing about first downs and touchdowns.
Always amazes me to see referees down on their knees squinting to see if the nose of the football is past the end of the chain. Using such precise measurements is absurd when you consider that on first down the chains are set merely by ‘eye-ball’ from the sidelines.
They don't need chips for that, just John Madden on instant replay.
What happens when the statistics show that Michael Sam is not NFL material?
But you have to ask yourself if this isn't just another stepping stone to getting the public to accept rfid chips for themselves - new world order and all that...

I like it.
So, the NFL is putting RFID chips on its players to prevent them from defecting to Canada or Mexico? Bye bye, guys.
Aren’t most of them wearing ankle bracelets anyway?
Track them during “scrum”.
Go back to Euwope, yuh weenie.
That’s for Rugby.
American Football has a scrimmage.
They really need tracking chips OFF THE FIELD.
That’s good. Now when there is a drive-by shooting, we’ll be able to find out what NFL player was in the hood at the time.
Wow, I read that as tracking chips IN players...
This will just add to the confusion of calling asinine penalties on players that react in split seconds...
Why this player was called for a "defenseless" player hit on a receiver and that player was not..
The difference was .5 second and 5 % less velocity...
"What are you ref, blind" ???
Great idea. We’ll be able to track the average 12 minutes of actual playing time per game.
Soccer.
Golf.
Baseball.
Drying Paint.
In that order.
LOL...I did think that was hilarious...baseball.
The NFL would be better served by implanting these chips under the skin of some of the less reputable thugs in the employ of certain teams. The data would help immensely during the inevitable trial to follow their eventual felonious exploits.
