That's such 2024 thinking. By 2044 you'll have to revise it to "I guess I won’t be going to any football games, stores, county fairs, farmers' markets, auto dealerships, gasoline stations, parks, concerts, churches, planes, trains" etc.

The National Football League is the latest organization to turn to facial authentication to bolster event security, according to an announcement this week.
All 32 NFL stadiums will start using the technology this season, after the league signed a contract with a company that uses facial scans to verify the identity of people entering event venues and other secure spaces.
The facial authentication platform, which counts the Cleveland Browns’ owners as investors, will be used to “streamline and secure” entry for thousands of credentialed media, officials, staff and guests so they can easily access restricted areas such as press boxes and locker rooms, Jeff Boehm, the chief operating officer of Wicket, said in a LinkedIn post Monday.
“Credential holders simply take a selfie before they come, and then Wicket verifies their identity and checks their credentials with Accredit (a credentialing platform) as they walk through security checkpoints,” Boehm added.
Wicket technology was deployed in a handful of NFL stadiums last year as part of a pilot program. Other stadiums will start rolling it out beginning on Aug. 8, when the pre-season kicks off.

Will be tough on the burkha-wearing fans ... though there likely aren’t many ... then again ...
I guess I won’t be going to any football games.
Is this because they have so many thugs in the NFL?
Are they using facial recognition to make sure no women players get on the field and compete with the men?
Since I’ve never been to an NFL game it might have trouble recognizing me.
I wasn’t interested in going to those clown shows anyway, but this would seal the deal for me.
Shove it and die, National Felon League.
I’d love to run that software on the FJB body doubles.
Just drape this noose around your neck like a necklace. It’s really fashionable!
Will make China’s millions of cameras look like child’s play.
James Dolan, the Knicks owner, has used facial recognition software to ban employees of a law firm that was involved in a case against him, from attending games.
That's such 2024 thinking. By 2044 you'll have to revise it to "I guess I won’t be going to any football games, stores, county fairs, farmers' markets, auto dealerships, gasoline stations, parks, concerts, churches, planes, trains" etc.
I also hate the hundreds, thousands, or more, who will profit from this.
And the millions and millions who will go along with it, still watching these stupid and pointless games, ignoring this tumble into animal existence.
More cattle than men.
More worms than cattle.
Would love to see an entire section with SloJo Biden masks.
Then again, just wearing the mask might lower one’s IQ.
How about for voting booths?
There’s only 30 NFL stadiums (both LA and both “NY” teams share their stadium). And yeah it’s coming everywhere. It’s the new barcode. Especially for those “all access” type things. Honestly so many of those include putting the person’s picture on the pass already, the old fashioned “facial authentication”. So not much change really.
I can HONESTLY say, "You're Seeing Very CLEARLY!"
IF YOU DO NOT USE A CELL PHONE-—NFL doesn’t want your attendance.
Certainly gonna make it tough for me to sneak into the team locker room in team uniform and hit the field with the rest of the other players.
