Twitter rips ESPN for poor camera angles due to ‘weather technical difficulties’
Published:
If you’re watching No. 1 Alabama’s SEC West clash against Arkansas, then you probably haven’t been able to see much.
That’s because the network is having “weather technical difficulties,” according to the broadcast crew, which is forcing the game to be shown through odd camera angles. ESPN has mostly utilized a field-wide shot, making the ball nearly impossible to see.

This is obviously not the preferred method of watching a football game, so Twitter took ESPN to task over the current quality of its broadcast.

If this is the best ESPN can do, they'd be better off streaming it from some fan's phone.

These ESPN camera angles for Alabama-Arkansas are like when your aunt tries to film a pee wee football game from the stands with her iPhone.

Alabama scores before ESPN’s cameras are even allowed to film the game.

With these camera angles, at least the film-heads won’t have to go back and find a copy of the All-22 to dissect.
Alabama currently leads Arkansas 21-0 with about five minutes left in the first quarter.
