The NFL Network has apologized for showing several naked Bengals players during a locker room interview after the team's win over Buffalo on Sunday. However, that apology isn't enough for everyone.
Katherine Webb McCarron and Bengals offensive lineman Andrew Whitworth are two people who have gone on the record so far with their displeasure with NFL Network.
McCarron, the wife of Bengals backup quarterback AJ McCarron, tweeted on Monday that she'd rather not have everyone see her husband's naked body on television.
I would rather my husbands ass/penis not be all over TV. Would you like to be filmed while naked? https://t.co/0cWsGDE5zj

Whitworth, who has three kids, has also been a harsh critic of the network's mishap.
why do I have to explain to my kids why their dad is naked on tv? @nflcommish ?? @nflnetwork ?? Time for a media policy change!!

The Bengals offensive lineman made it clear on Monday that he'd like to see televised interviews take place somewhere else in the stadium.
We work in large massive stadiums. There's plenty of other spaces to interview. #NoExcuses https://t.co/uLgMYh0eRX

Whitworth also sent out a tweet, responding to the following question, "What happens when a player feels like he has been violated by this? Could they sue the NFL Network?"
Funny isn't it.... Good question. https://t.co/hFnXiF1q6v

Like Katherine McCarron, Whitworth's wife, Melissa, was also upset.

Andrew Whitworth made it clear on Monday that he's just not a big fan of the policy that allows media members in a team's locker room.
"Being a guy that has been a player rep and a guy that's always been against this policy, it's a great example of why the open (locker) room policy is old and needs to change," Whitworth told the Cincinnati Enquirer. "You can't judge us off who we will and won't accept into our locker room and then say all these things we have to do, but then also put us in a situation where every single day I have to change clothes and be naked or not in front of media. It's just not right."
The NFL Network is ready to put the incident behind it. In a statement to the Associated Press on Monday, the network said that the ill-timed interview was a "regrettable mistake by a production team."
