When I first started covering football in 1962, we used a bigole honeywell flash pack capable of knocking a football player down with the blast. Ditto boxing and basketball. The only response I recall to using flash on the field is that occasionally, a player would come up to me and ask for prints, if he noticed a flash when he had made a particularly good play.
