"I didn't ask to be on TV. In fact, nobody asked us to be on TV," she pointed out.
Leaving aside the whole sexism nonsense, she ain't wrong about this. Focusing the camera on some individuals, for whatever reason, who are in a stadium for 20 seconds is pretty stupid.
I'm sure there's a more nuanced way to say this but I ain't that smart, but if you go to an event that will be televised there should be an expectation of being filmed. I can understand that not everyone wants to be filmed, but what's the solution? Should we blur crowds unless the fans agree to be on television?
That's why I stressed the 20 seconds. It may not be great that there is an 'expectation of being filmed', but it usually not individualized (the camera shows a crowd) and when it is, it shows people for just a second or so.
Even though this is probably not illegal, I don't think this is cool. But then again, as a European, I'm more of a stickler for privacy and all that than is common in America.

I disagree that CCTV everywhere Europe expects more privacy than an average American.
It's worse in some places (e.g. the UK) than others, but good point.
Still, the CCTV isn't being broadcast everywhere. It's just for our safety, just like illegal spying and all the other pleasant things the rulers do.
