NFL and the "Mark of the Beast"
Every player in the NFL will be outfitted with a RFID chip for the 2015 football season. And it sound like the game day scorecard/programs might already have chips in them too.

>>>Zebra, best known for its innovation in bar code and radio frequency identification technologies, is installing its MotionWorks real-time location system for sports in 17 NFL stadiums during the 2014 season. The system will track players and officials in real time during each game and upload that information into a database that can be used to enhance game broadcasts and in-stadium information, among other things.

Each player will have an RFID chip about the size of a quarter placed in his shoulder pads. About 20 receivers, each measuring about 6 inches by 4 inches, will be placed through the stadium and will capture real-time location and measurements of all players during the game, according to Jill Stelfox, Zebra’s general manager for locations solutions.

“We effectively create our own little network with the stadium, much like Wi-Fi in your house,” Stelfox said.

Stelfox said all NFL stadiums will have the technology by the 2015 season.<<<

Among other things might already be happening:

>>>Before sunrise on Tuesday morning, the terminals at DFW International Airport were filled with happy Ohio State fans — and some upset Oregon backers — now looking to return home

Also, travelers leaving from Dallas Love Field have been asked to pack the game program in a carry-on bag. Something in the books set off their machines which scan checked luggage, and the Transportation Security Administration is then required to do a manual inspection. The process moves faster if the programs are in carry-on bags.<<<

Re: NFL and the "Mark of the Beast"
While this is the first foray into real-time player tracking for the NFL, the NBA has been tracking player movements using motion-detecting cameras to collect and distribute data since the 2013-2014 season, as reported by Grantland. Zebra’s “MotionWorks” technology is unique, however, when it comes to football, since it relies solely on RFID tags.

The first tracked game kicked off in early September, with the Bills vs. the Bears at Soldier Field. This season, all of that data will be collected as part of a trial run, but you can expect to see RFID tracking details on your TV screen at every game starting in 2015.

What is particularly unique, Stelfox explains, is that the two tags in the shoulder pads will provide not only location data, but orientation. "One tag does the tracking, but the second does the orientation, so you'll know which way a player is facing," she states. "The tags are pulsing, and the receivers are capturing data 25 times per second, and [they] will be able to capture the right shoulder of a player rotating, so you can see that movement.

I guess in 2015 when they need to review a play, they can check the RFID data too.

I wish that had that technology for the last Cowboys game. LOL
