NFL players want to modify media's locker room access for privacy reasons [View all]
Two seasons after the NFL reopened teams’ locker rooms to reporters following the coronavirus pandemic, player leaders would like to modify the locker-room access given to media members for privacy reasons.
NFL Players Association officials say they are attempting to have the NFL’s media access policies adjusted to have reporters interview players in a different setting following games and during practice weeks.
“What I was hoping to achieve on behalf of the membership is … to accurately articulate how they feel,” Lloyd Howell, the NFLPA’s executive director, said during a meeting this week with Washington Post reporters and editors. “And they do not want to be interviewed when they’re naked. [And] to open the door for doing some solutioning of what could be more effective.”
The union has had discussions on the issue with the league and with the Pro Football Writers of America. Howell said the NFLPA is not attempting to keep reporters from doing their jobs or to reduce the amount of time during which players would be available to media members.
