NFL Adopts New Tech, Soccer Leads Innovations

The NFL is adopting new technologies, including an electronic system to measure yardage, to enhance safety and reduce errors, but it is still catching up to soccer's rapidly advancing tech. At Euro 2024, soccer has implemented innovative tools such as the Adidas Fussballliebe Pro ball with a microchip that detects touches, semi-automated offside technology, and AI to improve decision-making and game accuracy. While some fans and players appreciate these technologies for their precision, others argue they slow down the game and detract from its human element. Goal-line technology and VAR have also been refined to provide quicker and more accurate results. Despite mixed reactions, the advancements in soccer technology continue to shape the sport significantly.
