Guidelines For Athletic Blog Posts Nowadays

By Douglas Butler


During the early days, athletes were not supposed to update their Olympic blog posts. This is because the committee was afraid to release the live updates. Therefore ones who do this were penalized since they had gone over the rules and break them to post the proceedings in the field. This was not possible till Olympics which were held in Beijing china in 2008. This was because the Olympic committee was afraid of athletes releasing sensitive information about the task to the public hence the ones did this were penalized. Therefore athletic blog was supposed to be kept private.

Till today, those blocks to post whatever you want on your website is prohibited but after the 2008 Olympics, athletes where given special honor to post some of the events but not all of it. Therefore there are guidelines which were set to make sure not all information about the athletics was disclosed to public. Below are some of those regulations.

The athlete is not allowed to disclose their agreements with their sponsors in order to retain the confidentiality of the matter. Therefore if you are caught doing this, you will be liable to your own mistakes. Therefore you will receive a penalty depending on the number of times you have been participating in Olympics.

Any audio or video content attained from ongoing event is not allowed to be posted. Therefore the person gotten doing so will be penalized since there are information which are confidential to the organization which are not supposed to be disclosed until the Olympics are over. The blog will be confined and protected from running to the public and you will have to explain to the committee the motive of your post.

When setting these rules, they put everything in consideration of all the participants and shareholders in the event. Therefore the movements in the field should be left hence taking videos is against their laws. Therefore you are supposed to take only the still pictures which should be posted in any website of your choice. After the game, you can use the videos you took during the event and post them, on the website as per the rules.

If the information was out during performance in the previous part you participated, the people will start commenting where others will be [positive while others negative about the performance. This will affect the next performance since the discouragements from the web is too much for the athlete. Therefore there is some information which is supposed to remain confidential in protection of the people participating.

In cases where the athletes have agreements with their sponsors, you are not supposed to make those comments in your blog or refer to any substantial materials which talks about the agreement whether directly or indirectly. All these limitations are set only for bloggers to allow the committee of having their commissioned broadcasting contractors to do so.

Today you are allowed to do whatever you want with the materials you8 have on the Olympics. Therefore you can post every kind of material although need to be careful not to become inflammatory which might lead to prosecution. Consider your posts before releasing them to the public.
