It's not illegal, but it was a violation of NFL rules. They sent out a memo to all coaches telling them to stop, but the Patriots continued. They were then fined for "use of equipment to videotape an opposing team’s offensive or defensive signals."
- mikehearn 11y agoI mean, I agree. Spygate was a violation and they got fined. That seems pretty clear cut and I don't have a problem with it. I'm just taking issue with the guy calling it "outright spying" which is a pretty exaggerated characterization when you're filming what a coach is doing in front of 50,000 people. If that's spying, then I spy on NFL games pretty regularly.
