When a live camera shot inside the Cincinnati Bengals’ locker room on Sunday included a bunch of naked football players in the background, it may have seemed like a titillating experience, but it’s not harmless fun to everyone. It was a screw-up by the NFL Network crew, which really should have let someone know or checked their background (Cameraman? Maybe speak up next time?) before going live to Albert Breer.
One of the people who wasn’t at all amused was Katherine McCarron, née Webb, wife of Bengals backup quarterback A.J. McCarron.
How is this ok? What about female reporters required to get an interview? https://t.co/n3RSexRILR

No missing the point. Players should have their privacy. I'm sure female reports would rather not be in there https://t.co/1FjAXHQxPH

I would rather my husbands ass/penis not be all over TV. Would you like to be filmed while naked? https://t.co/0cWsGDE5zj

McCarron raises a good, if obvious, point — it should be up to the players to either have the American public see their naked bodies or not.
