Walking Billboards on NFL Sidelines
Being one of the photographers at The Sun who covers the Ravens regularly, the latest idea (moneymaker) the NFL has come up with is disconcerting. It is hard enough not to stand out, but to be forced to wear red bibs with advertising on them just so we can photograph the game is bewildering. The National Press Photographers Association has an article about the issue.
Look for me on the sidelines. I'll be the one in red.

Advertising on the photographers? Man, the NFL has raised the bar on "tacky" - Doug

What a joke? I am sure Nikon will love to see their equipment hanging over a Canon Log. What's the next step beer logos on the side of a long telephoto lens.
Photographers record the news and blend not make the news and standout.
Good luck with your protest.
