NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — It appears the Giants jumped the gun in their attempt to use technology to gain a competitive edge.
During mandatory minicamp Big Blue unveiled a drone used to film practices from different perspectives. In the ever-evolving world of professional football, use of the unmanned aircraft fitted with cameras can only help a team get a more detailed look at its offense and defense.
The question is whether the Giants were legally allowed to use the device.
According to a report on Bloomberg.com, the feds recently spoke to the Dallas Cowboys about their use of drones at practices, because it’s illegal to fly them for a commercial use without a waiver from the Federal Aviation Administration.
