I know this is completely off topic from video games but I was watching a bit of the Tostitos bowl earlier today with Stanford vs OSU and there was something that happened during the game that really upset me. I really wish I had recorded this video to show you guys.

In the first quarter during a time out the commentators spoke of a little girl with cancer that inspired a player to wear a bracelet that said "thinking of you" for every game he played. Well as they are talking about her they cut to a camera shot of the little girl who is a 4th grader I believe, and the little girl has her head buried in what looks like a friends back and she clearly does not want to be seen on camera. They continue to keep the camera panned on her and she still clearly does not want to be seen on camera. Mind you they said this girl has gone through a shit ton of chemo. Then one of the commentators made an asshole comment that she's shy when they finally cut to the game.

My beef is they had no concept of personal space or privacy for this little girl and her wishes. To me it was borderline exploitable of using this little girl who's gone through hell for a "feel good story" for the game. For fucks sake just let her watch the game in peace like everyone else cause that's what it looked like she wanted. Plus they kept her on shot for quite a while to keep looking to the camera and they just wouldn't take a hint.

Whoever the production director of that game was is a complete asshole.

I understand that sports games are a public place and anyone can be shown on camera it's just the way this situation was handled that pisses me off.
