If it's that easy, why did they have it edited together on video?

So that others could watch it also?
Seriously, mnove the camera to the 1st row in the stabds, zoom in a little more and there is NO infraction and they get the EXACT same information.

I say let all of them film anything they want from their side of the field or in the stands.

I have never once attended a professional game (football, baseball etc.) that allowed fans in the seats to video the game.

The TV networks pay big bucks for the 'exclusive rights' so if you pull out a video camera and start taping the action on the field, you will soon feel a tap on your shoulder from and usher and a stadium security officer.
