I do a little sports photography as a hobby/very small business. I've been doing it for nearly 40 years. Experienced photogs are paying attention, trust me. It doesn't take getting run over but one or two times to make you do it. I still have back problems from the time I learned. It was during warm ups and I got hit from behind by a 160lb high school wideout going for a ball thrown out of bounds. I still get caught every now and then, but you learn to protect yourself.I've always thought it was dangerous for the press, and especially the cheerleaders, to sit only a few inches inside of the baseline. The camera-wielding folks are trying to take pictures and not paying attention, and can you imagine a 100 lb cheerleader being run over by a 250 lb player.
I remember that. Gene Swindoll destroyed MSU's National championship hopes that night by crippling Lawrence Roberts.
