So lots of things circulating the NFL currently but I really don’t care to talk about a lot of the controversial issues so I’m gonna talk about the fact that DeSean Jackson suggested putting mics on players during games this season.
With the possibility of the limited fans in stadiums the Philadelphia wide receiver made this remark a few days ago. Now this is something the XFL did a little bit of and it was very interesting and I think added a different level to watching the game. This may be problematic though because from my understanding there may be a lot of language not appropriate for children. This is not bashing the NFL players for this it’s just the way the game is and kids really look up to these guys.
Now I came up with a few solutions to these issues for example players having to have a mic in their uniform,when I heard there’s a potential of wearing a mask (there is very little chance of this but I heard the rumor.) So maybe we have mics on officials so that they pick up player voices but the players don’t have the extra weird bulk inside the uniform.
Another solution to players and the language they use is having like a 20 or 30 second TV delay. But that means it’s someone job to hammer that bleep button which is a lot of work and wouldn’t wish that job on anyone. Also with the way technology is we’d be seeing updates on our phones before we saw it on TV which would make people upset most likely. I mean I can say the same for me who doesn’t want to watch things in real time.
In my closing opinion here I’d have to say that it would be so cool to be able to hear the chatter between players and the hits on a different level. Although, I am not naive to the NFL and how much they love their image so I really can’t see this happening. I however do think they need something to make the game connect with people more if fans can’t come watch and I don’t have a solution for them but that’s not my job so I’m sure they’ll think of something.
As always thanks for reading and let me know if there’s anything you want me to write on!
