Controversy and conspiracy theories follow the New England Patriots everywhere, and a new gate/scandal may have developed after security noticed a drone flying over the Atlanta Falcons practice, according to My Fox Boston.
The Atlanta Falcons have been practicing at Rice University in the days leading up to the Super Bowl, and an eager fan apparently got crafty in trying to sneak a peek.Drones are subject to FAA guidelines, and they’re reportedly stricter for the Super Bowl (they’re actually not allowed).
“With the field situated next to a residential area abutting the Rice campus, there was extra SECURITY between the edge of the field (with a fence and high hedges) and the neighborhood, so the Falcons could feel secure running a practice as though they were at their home facility,” today’s pool report issued by the NFL said.
The drone operator was described only as an area resident, and it wasn’t clear if he or she would face any charges. But the device was grounded, the report said.
Until we get a name, hilarious conspiracy skeptics are going to blame Bill Belichick and the NEw England Patriots.
