The issue was an NFL Network cameraman not focusing tight on Adam Jones' face -- cameraman shooting 101, and the very first thing you do. What made it worse was that it wasn't a live shot (it was a live show) so editors at the NFL Network saw this and STILL put it on the air. So now, the players are mad at all media because of this mistake.
Yes, I can agree with the players that it's not ideal that we can see them enter and leave the shower. But at home, you don't really see it because it's a big space and you don't bother guys in those moments. The visiting locker rooms are designed to be inconvenient, small, and crowded. This is because NFL teams don't want opponents to have nice accommodations. It's part of the homefield advantage. But this is totally on NFLN, and we're all getting lumped into the argument.
I'm not going to go into the mechanics of how the day-to-day works, but I guarantee you that if the PR staffs around the league had to go get players out of the locker room and bring them to a holding area -- that would last all of one game or two days. Why? The players and coaches would HATE IT.
there is just no need for cameras in the locker rooms period interviews can be conducted with an audio tape. The only thing worth seeing in a locker room is the post game speach by the coach imo. Where do they even show these interviews i have hardly ever seen one. I listen to them on the radio as they have an hour block after the game for these interviews. But on TV its on to the next game. On NFL network they are showing the coaches post game conferences at a table (Not in a locker room)
what can be asked in a locker room that cant be asked in the formal post game press conferences?
