NFL: Cameras ordered for locker rooms
The NFL has ordered all teams to have cameras in their locker rooms next season, with video shown only on stadium scoreboards. It's part of commissioner Roger Goodell's initiative for "enhancing the fan experience in our stadiums." The videos will be available on team apps as well.
Each team will operate the cameras and will determine what is shown on the video boards and apps.
