NFLPA Investigating After NY Jets Players Discover Hidden Locker Room Cameras
The National Football League Players Association (NFLPA) is now investigating after NY Jets players discover hidden locker room cameras in their facilities.
On Saturday (Nov. 7), Jets players and their representatives alerted the NFLPA after discovering surveillance equipment disguised as smoke detectors in the training facility locker rooms. It’s noted that the NFLPA learned of similar reports in October, and the association “immediately informed the NFL.” Then, league officials responded, claiming the cameras had been in the facility since 2008 when the team moved from its Long Island one to a new one in Florham Park, New Jersey. Sources say the league also made players aware of the cameras, making them compliant with league rules.
Now, a league spokesperson tells NY Daily News that they’ve directly responded to the union about the cameras and no further action is required by the Jets. However, eyebrows are still being raised since the players were surprised to learn of the cameras and are subsequently seeking help from the union. The news site says t spoke to “a number of current and former Jets players” and all say they were unaware of the locker room cameras, and were never informed by team officials of their existence. Meanwhile, the team, via the league, are adamant that the cameras are solely for internal security purposes.
