Default Request: pls consider using "cameragate" instead of "spygate"

This has been mentioned many times in the past but well worth mentioning given the recent cheating accusations by a Denver Post columnist and Michael Silver from yahoo.

Can the Pats fans please consider referring to our smear as 'cameragate'?

"Spying" involves being clandestine and silent, which I doubt is what the BB had in mind when he allowed the cameraman to film right in front of everyone in the stadium.

So, why should some fans blindly use a negative term even though it is used incorrectly by the media, and in the process unconciously cast a negative light on their team?

This thread was moved here because, even though well intentioned, it could start a whole new , about a subject that has already been .

Yes ******* was mentioned in the thread about the 2 morons who wrote articles about Josh, but it was not specific about *******, a subject that we are all sick to death hearing about. So one thread with the mere mention of ******* is enough on the main forum. But if others want to discuss the thread remains open here instead of closed on the main forum.

I think the OP makes an excellent point. I will follow his suggestion going forward.
