Importance Of Athletic Blog Burn Before Beijing

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.

Today, it is possible to do this by following rules which guides on the content one can release and the ones which must remain confidential. For instance, the confinement of the content is solely entitled to athlete experience. The other rule is that you are not allowed to post any audio or video content concerning ongoing competitions.

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.

Everything was considered during the time the committee set these regulations to guide the athletes materials they put in public knowledge. This is because if people started to give their opinions during the event the athlete happens to see it, it will have an impact on person but they considered all possibilities of negative attitude towards the party involved in the content.

These rules were set to ensure the agreements made between the sponsors and the athletes remained confidential throughout the time the Olympics will be going on. If posts like these goes on air, the operation could have been compromised since there are mixed opinions in the agreement made from the people reading the blog.The burn of athlete websites is a normal thing to those who does not do as told hence leading to their websites being burned till the end of the time set for athletics. This is to prevent information from the committee or the sponsors from getting to the public before sports are over.

There information on deals made between the sponsors and the athletes are supposed to remain confidential until the time in which session closes. This allows the information to remain confidential and the people outside the field are not able to comment in which might compromise the ability of the athlete to win the race. Therefore no one even the athlete should post this blog on the internet before the time is done.

Today anyone can take any kind of material and post them on their blogs without anyone being concerned about them. The committee also did this to allow the broadcasters who had made proper arrangements with the IOC to cover the stories and air them.
