College Locker Rooms
As we noted last time, if you take a video in a men's locker room, there might be naked men there, and that also applies to reporters doing locker room interviews. This is an excerpt from an interview with the coach of the Clemson Tigers after their loss in the Orange Bowl in 2012. Near the end of the clip you'll probably notice the guy walking across the room with nothing but a towel held in front.
But did you notice the guy in the background, just to the right of the coach's ear? Let me zoom in on him for you (above). He's Clemson linebacker Spencer Shuey.
Then there are the videos that players make of themselves, accidentally capturing another guy in the background. This is the locker room of the Cincinnati Bearcats football team. This zoomed-in view only shows part of some guys doing some kind of victory dance, but we see a couple of beefy naked guys in the background.
As we continue to ignore the victory dance, we get to see some more of one of the background guys. He's Connor 'CJ' Johnson.
And then it seems that the guys making the video step away, leaving the camera running, with CJ continuing to dry himself off.
You might argue that these are not unashamed males, because they weren't aware that they were being recorded. True, but they're not ashamed to be naked in front of the other guys in the locker room, and that makes them unashamed in my book.
Then there are guys who know that they're being recorded. Here are some players in the Arizona Wildcats locker room.
We end with this player for an unidentified team who is perfectly aware that he's being recorded. I think it's safe to say he's unashamed.

Much as I enjoy seeing naked males, I kind of consider clips like this an invasion of these men's privacy. Was this clip actually shown as is on TV?
Love the last gif.
I don't know for sure, but I presume the Clemson interview was shown on TV. The nudity was brief, in the background, and easily overlooked.
I personally consider the phone recordings kind deliberate hazings, not the interviews, each players has its own locker spot so they know who they will record. And in my opinion there's nothing to be ashamed of.
Guys horsing around locker room.
twitter is full of that kind of clips
I don't think many sportsmen would be too concerned about being seen naked in the locker room. It's just what it's like in there.
