Mike McCarthy provided an apology on Sunday night — however it wasn’t for his group’s bad play … rather, the Dallas Cowboys head coach needed to state sorry to a cameraman after he pressed the person’s lens away following his group’s loss to the Niners.
The incident occurred simply seconds after the Dallas vs. S.F. championship game had actually ended … when photojournalist Noah Bullard was trying to get a shot of the 59-year-old leaving the field.
In Bullard’s video, you can see McCarthy plainly didn’t wish to be shot … and put his hand on the electronic camera to get it far from him. A picture of the incident appeared to reveal McCarthy utilized some force when touching the lens, too.
Thank you to everybody that has actually connected relating to the Mike McCarthy incident. I can see how the picture resembled he pressed me however it was more of a hand to the lens. I did meet coach McCarthy independently in his workplace and he did ask forgiveness. @NBCDFW #DallasCowboys pic.twitter.com/LuOfPVRqhq
