NFL can't afford cameras? (playoffs, league, helmets, team)

[Floorist]

Belichick ask the NFL to put cameras on the goal line and the NFL says they can't afford it. Are you kidding me? They could take the expense out of petty cash. Or maybe the commish could give up some of the $44 million he gets?

I was thinking the same thing. I thought his league made a ton of dough. I must be missing something.

[The Dissenter]

It is outrageous that the NFL used the excuse of money out of all of them to deny goal line cameras.

The NFL will instead find new ways to fit commercial breaks in to make their broadcast partners happy.

It's doubtful that they can't, but more so that they won't.

Seems to me that many more angles would be helpful, especially during the playoffs and Super Bowl! I understand that many times too many players in the way can hide the actual movement of the football, and perhaps even more cameras wouldn't be helpful then, but for most plays another camera angle or more could be extremely important.

Basically they can just allow the networks to put cameras. I hardly think tho they will od it because one team wants them.

I think they need to place tiny video cameras in all the player's helmets. That would be pretty cool!

If the NFL doesnt want to put those cameras up, fine. But dont use money as an excuse. No one in the world is going to buy that. Even Bill Gates was like, "Really?"
