    Genuine question: why wouldn’t the watch be legal?

      Also, someone can text him information about the other team’s plays.

      College has strict rules with who can get a headset and talk to players/coaches. You can read texts on the field.

      Bookies telling them take a dive. Most sports here, it’s no coms from the time you hit the dressing room.

      As someone already stated, the physical safety of having a hard object on your wrist could be dangerous. Another reason is that there are rules and laws set around communication between players and coaches on the field and off, and what can and can’t be done with regards to gathering information about the other team and outside perspectives. AW could potentially breach these I guess.

      Oh! It’s also especially bad to wear a smartwatch as it could be a means of communication between coaches/players. I recently learned from Josh Dobbs joining the Vikings right before their next game that the coaches headset to the in-helmet mic gets cut off with like 15-ish seconds left on the play clock

      As long as it is the Nike version it is allowed. 😂 Nike sponsors the uniforms.

    Would be cool to see more real time stats for coaches by smart apparel. Science nerd me wants to believe he has on some sorta smart clothing that the Apple Watch is tracking. 🤓

      Jim didn’t have a clue it was happening. It was all Connor Stallions.

    Does not look like an Apple Watch to me - the crown appears to be centered on the side, which is not something Apple ever did.

      It’s an ultra. You’re seeing the large protrusion on the side that’s creating the illusion of a centered crown.

      Fun fact. “Football” has nothing to do with moving the ball with your feet.

      The term dates back to a time where it was created to differentiate between sports played on foot and sports played on horseback. They just adopted that name when American football started and it stuck.
