ST. LOUIS: A group of men piled into an Uber SUV late last month. They started complaining about work and their bosses. They had no idea a camera was rolling, and didn't realise their candid conversations would soon be posted online. 

This time it happened in Phoenix, and the men recorded without their consent were professional athletes, hockey players for the Ottawa Senators.
