Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch doesn’t want any cameramen in his huddle.
The Seattle Seahawks and the Carolina Panthers are squaring off in the Divisional Round of the NFC playoffs on Saturday. Whenever there is a big NFL game it seems like more and more cameras are added to the broadcast to cover every angle and catch everything.

In reality, they do it to provide the best coverage for the fan at home, to make them feel like they’re at the game and really apart of the action. But some times it can be intrusive.
I always wonder if the camera flying over the field is distracting and if players are somewhat paying attention to it with a little bit of fear that it could fall on them.
Some times the issue is a rogue camera man on the field to try and provide a close up view of the huddle, which is an intimate part of the game for any team. There is after all, a reason they huddle to discreetly share plans of attack for the next play.
Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch isn’t having any of it though, he literally moved a cameraman out of the huddle. Of course you wouldn’t expect any other player to do this but Lynch, the player who is most notoriously not a fan of the media. He was fined for not talking to the media and then when forced to he often avoids answering questions with simple one-word answers or simply saying thanks for asking.
