Re: Belichick Busted again for videotape scandal
Quote:
Belichick, coach of the New England Patriots was recently in the area for a game against the Washington Redskins. During his trip he stopped by Bates Middle School, formerly his alma mater, Annapolis High School. He was accompanied by a National Football League film crew. But there was a bit of a problem.
School system policy has a few stipulations on what photographers and videographers can shoot. Basically, if a student is in a shot, their parents have to sign a waiver, granting permission. If that’s not possible, the cameraman has to use some clever tricks to blur out the child’s face, making them virtually anonymous.
Everyone has to follow the policy and it can be a major pain.
However, Belichick and the crew didn’t get the waivers, said Bob Mosier, spokesman for county schools.

First of all the columnist is truly reaching by calling this a 'scandal' and saying he was 'busted', in an attempt to compare it to spygate. Second, if someone is to 'blame' for being unable to film the students I would think it is NFL Films, and not Belichick. I seriously doubt BB was setting up the filming portion of the event.
But hey, why should anyone in the media pass up an opportunity to vilify Belichick and rehash spygate?
