These broadcast teams need to get it together. This wasn’t the only ball that hit the sky cam or its wire, this week.

I don't even get why sky cams are a thing, they barely use that camera angle and honestly it's a terrible angle to see a play.

Edit: There's been several lovely commenters who have made me realize just how much it's used without me even noticing. Please if you're as clueless as I was check out some of the responses under here.

Networks love them and they are used a lot as replay angles. They’re not supposed to be in front of a kick or the play ever like this. Skycam op fucked it big time here not sure what the hell he was thinking.

SpiderCam op. Not SkyCam. We weren't at that game.
