Are the frequent cameramen leering at beautiful women at soccer tournaments appropriate in 2021?

These lingering "Honey shots" are a very bad example for very young viewers to witness

I watched the euro 2020 final on BBC and they didn't resort to this carry on

Ah sod off.

I don't really understand your concern here..

Please post examples for us to discuss this topic with the necessary full scrutiny required....

P.S. the more examples the better...

RTE always find a “stranger “ at those GAA games in croke park

Leering at beautiful women is only a problem if you are ugly

In relation to the op what about all the camera shots of beer swelling lads who can't stand up straight and jump about inconsistently.

Did other stations ? Pretty sure they all get their feed from the same source

what about the topless middle aged men, the kids asleep, the elderly couple, the ex players, etc, etc, etc? cameramen are fairly indiscriminate with who they decide to focus on.

so yeah, in the randomness there will be some good looking women. wont someone think of the children!

It is objectifying women is my point. What does leering at an attractive woman posing have to do with a football game? It's sleazy and unnecessary

Oh the humanity. A picture of an attractive person. What shall we do!

How is she being objectified ? She’s a football supporter at a football game having a good time.

I'm disappointed that they no longer show streakers.

tell me this...how is that woman being objectified?

Because she is being leered upon because she is "sexy"

They should be cutting away to whoever is giving the best reaction. If that’s a "sexy" person fine , if it someone else, great as well... But that never happens?

They show good looking footballers too.

Does this also apply to men also, like in this photo here, for example? If not, why not?

If anything they were too few compared to previous years - even the missus commented on the lack of them

😂

Careful now

Viscount Aggro

Same crap with BBC cameramen... panning back and forth to wags in the crowd.

Sorry, are they part of the match?

Bobblehats

I don’t care for it the less to do with sexuality in the sporting arena the better. Worse still was enjoyment of little girls crying, odd bunch these cameramen

Yes... The cameramen are appropriate!

They frequently show crowds as they form an integral element of the matchday experience, atmosphere etc... its never during live play...

ive seen cameras Pan in on men, women, families, hot girls, mad blokes.... all the melting pot of football.

ablelocks

who says the camera operators are/were men?

Portugal didn't play Ukraine at this tournament ! This is from a qualifier game.

I call Bullsh*t - OP looking for something to moan about for the sake of it. All stations showed the same footage, coming from the official UEFA tournament cameras. I didn't see any lingering honey shots either.

Unless OP gonna say OP was talking about Copa America.. 🙄

Greyfox

Ah we need more pictures before we can decide

Mister Vain

I remember a time when people would take bets on how many times the cameraman would show Ronaldo's girlfriend.

There's positivity bias here you are only taking notice of the crowds shots of good looking women... among all the others of people in costumes..or biting their nails...or Jimmy five bellies...etc. etc.

So who's worse..you taking more notice or the TV production teams still having a bit of that old habit.

I will say though that for Brazil in 2014 they were absolutely shameless about it was more comedy that anything else.

This is utterly without foundation... I think the camera PEOPLE have been told to actively avoid any hints of such behaviour.

Instead we get pictures of eejits who suddenly get excited when they appear on screen even though their team is getting a hiding.

Any focusing on attractive women is totally random.

Bring back the old days of the Bavaria girls and spare us from the eejits.

I say this as someome who would look like an eejit if screened on camera at a game.
