It is probably best for all leagues to have a standard policy that reporters aren’t allowed into the locker room until the players are dressed in something decent, then stuff like this wouldn’t happen.

Just have a guy make sure all the players at least have on pants before letting the media in. The NFL Network blamed it on the production team.
An NFL Network official expressed regret Monday afternoon for what he called a production mistake that led to several naked Cincinnati Bengals players being seen in the background of an interview on the network following Sunday’s game at Buffalo.
NFL Network vice president of communications Alex Riethmiller said Monday that “it was a regrettable mistake by our production team.”
“We’ve already done a pretty thorough review of the procedures and processes that were dropped along the way to make sure it doesn’t happen again,” Riethmiller told Bengals media on a conference call.
Bengals OT Andrew Whitworth was not pleased.
He says if this was a woman’s locker room, it wouldn’t have been seen as a joke.
“I’ve pressed this issue before with our union and the fact I think it’s wrong,” Whitworth said of media being present in locker rooms postgame. “This is my office space. I shouldn’t have to change in it and be in front of people I don’t know or really don’t have any purpose of being near me other than the fact they are interviewing other people.
“If I was a woman, this would be a completely different subject, and it would be a complete firestorm. We can’t always just serve women and everyone else. Men deserve a right too. We have rights. We have privacy. We deserve all the things we want, as well. As a man, I think it’s right the policy is changed.”
For those who don’t believe double standards don’t exist in our society, here is just another example.
