Anti-NFL vests

The AEJMC passed a resolution today condemning the NFL for their new proposed practice of requiring sideline photographers to wear vests, which have corporate logos on them. They join the RTNDA, NAB, NPPA, SND, and others who have spoke out on the proposal.

Regardless, I believe the NFL is going to go through with it, because they sort of got the photogs buy the balls. The NFL is the only organization that can grant access to these games and the journalist have to cover it because it is newsworthy. Unfortunately, the journalists can choose to boycott the games. A news organization cannot choose to not cover a bona fide news event.
