Another amateur photographer hassled for no good reason

[resqgeek]

Management at FedEx field has apologized to a fan whose camera was taken from him during a Redskins game earlier this year. At the time the fan was told that "professional" cameras were not permitted, though no such rule apparently exists. Stadium management has since contacted the fan and offered special access the next time he attends the game, including a chance to take pictures from the field.

Let me guess: Reza Michael Farhoodi does not have blue eyes, blond hair, or pink skin.

Race aside, all these photos bans are ridiculous. At least we have Marc Fisher to stay on top of the issue.
