NFL teams always try to play things as close to the vest as possible. They think the things they are doing at training camp is top secret and don’t want those secrets leaked on the internet. It varies from team to team in terms of how much is allowed in terms of photos and videos. The Pittsburgh Steelers ideally don’t want any fan videos taken at all and posted online. They announced this to those in attendance at Saturday’s practice, according to Steelers beat writer Mark Kaboly.
Kaboly also said the announcement fell on deaf ears and fans continued to video practice drills and post them online. A quick search on X will yield dozens and dozens of fan-posted videos of individual plays and drills during practice. Harmless? For the most part. However, what these fans might not be thinking about is what impact this could have on fans ability to go to practice at all. If they cannot follow the rules, the Steelers could easily close practices and no one would get to see practice or interact with the players. Those short videos won’t be worth it.
Steelers announce to fans during practice not to take video and post it so, basically, other teams can’t see what they are doing.
So what happens? Fans take videos and post them and everybody can see them.
