cube - how long do think it will be until a guy with your skills (but young) will be UNABLE to get any photo job?
How long until there are no more photogs on the sidelines?
With current technological development, maybe 20-25 years before these take over the 4 major leagues in the USA and high level events such as Olympics, World Cup Futbol.
I think it will be much sooner than that. Not because the robot will be better, but because the league can then control the imagery. Honestly I'm surprised one of the leagues hasn't shut down side line photography. They could put their own league shooters out and distribute the photos themselves for a fee. Another way to make profit and control the brand. The robots could do the same, it doesn't matter how good the images are if they are only images.
