Not even close to a professional athletic event

In Response To: Things that make you go hmmm... (rory)

There is absolutely NO comparison... if you want to liken it to professional athletes' performances being recorded, there MUST be a legal framework similar to the ones in place for those events and competitors.... waivers and releases and ABT rules covering these issues MUST be put in place.

I am NOT saying I don't think they should be allowed to be recorded - I am ONLY saying that ABT rules and legal framework do NOT allow for it.
