Default Deadspin Flames article - about couple on TV broaccast

Not sure if this was already posted but

Still not sure why they kept showing them on TV though.

This seems related to the other thread about unwanted harassment.

It was never about the couple
It was about the 2 dallas fans that's sitting next to them.

Yeah okay. Though it would be much easier to see that if the camera pointed towards them more.

Wow, this guy has got quite an imagination based on a total of 7 seconds worth of screen time.

Article is weird AF. Trying to make a narrative based on 3 seconds of video.

Just as plausible is that the woman is just uncomfortable with the camera being right in front of her

Unless they speak to her or have more context to add, this is just dumb.

Isn't anyone who sits in those seats on TV all the time? It seems like they pan to whoever is sitting there when they want to show the crowd reaction.

Well, isn’t this article ironic. 1,000 words about mansplaining that ends up assuming it knows exactly what a woman is thinking based on her facial expressions.

The camera guys are creepy, lurking around with their mini-cams. I sit on the aisle and was trying to fend off a guy during O' Canada.

Does attending the game mean implied consent to being on national television?

I know on the paper tickets there were a bunch of disclaimers. With e-tickets I don't really recall any.
