Cincinnati Bengals’ Andrew Whitworth not happy after being filmed nude in locker room

Cincinnati Bengals offensive lineman Andrew Whitworth is not happy after being filmed and broadcast nude in the team’s locker room

NFL Network cameras on Sunday accidentally filmed and broadcast several Cincinnati Bengals players nude in the locker room following their 34-21 win against the Buffalo Bills Sunday. As NFL Network’s Albert Breer did a live interview with Bengals cornerback Adam Jones, several Bengals players can be seen milling about the locker room in various stages of undress as they go to and from the showers.

When the interview finally cuts back to the studio, the anchors are still trying to figure out how they should react. You can infer that they knew that this was going to be a viral moment as it was happening.

While some may see it as a funny situation, this is completely inexcusable.

Bengals lineman Andrew Whitworth, who was one of those naked in the video, is understandably perturbed by what happened and is making his feelings known on twitter.

Whitworth’s wife tweeted that there should be a policy change and an apology from the NFL.

Whitworth called out the media, suggesting that they won’t cover this with the same ferocity that they cover other stories.

He contends that there is no reason for reporters to be in the locker room right after the game has ended.

It’s hard to argue with him. I’m not sure that it is necessary for reporters to be doing their interviews in the locker room while the players are trying to shower. Would it be so hard to open the locker room up after the players have gotten done with their business? I know that I for one wouldn’t want video cameras hovering when I am walking around naked.

To their credit, the NFL has responded, via ESPN’s Coley Harvey.
