              The Worst Assaults On Sports Photographers

              Being a sports photographer often requires standing in a place of potential danger. However some photojournalists have also found that capturing a sports story off the field or in the locker room can be just as dangerous when a player isn’t having a good day. Sports Center has put together 10 of the most outrageous attacks and hits on sports photographers. Not all of these confrontations end as relatively peaceful as Scott Kelby’s tackle last year as an NFL photographer.

                None of these people would be where they were today without cameras.

                its funny how they want fame and act like assholes with people who are majorly responsible for it.

                It’s funny to me that these sports players get made while they are on the field at video cameramen working for the same organization.  It’s not like they were snuck up on my paparazzi

                that’s just wrong, as sports stars its part of they’re job to be a public figure, they don’t have to be mean to them, except for paparazzi’s they get rude sometimes and shove cameras in your face

                I get the fact that cameras can be invasive at times, but attacking the cameraman is just ridiculous. As for the guys who get hit with a ball or tackle and get the shot… great job!
