Ariel and Raimondi definitely have never done anything athletic in their lives.
Hory shit thats a lot of ruleshttps://www.mmaja.com/rules-regulations/
- Refrain from rooting for or against fighters from press row on fight night.
- Do not applaud or heckle promoters, fighters, referees, judges, cornermen, commission members or any relevant event professional.
- No collecting autographs while working.
- No taking pictures with fighters or event officials for nonprofessional purposes while working.
- Your byline must be your real first and last name. Those who work under pseudonyms, gimmick nicknames, or in any way hide their identity will not be admitted to the MMAJA.
- Do not wear fighter, fight company or MMA gym apparel while working. Clothing that promotes the media outlet you work for is acceptable, though we strongly suggest professional standards of dress.
- Respectfully address a subject while working. Avoid hostility and do not deliberately provoke an interview subject. Such actions in an open working area reflect poorly on the entire group.
- No improper behavior on the job with fighters, promoters, any event official or press member.
- No working under the influence of drugs or alcohol. No drinking alcohol on press row.
- Do not abuse credential privileges, for example, by making copies of your credentials in order to sneak your friends in for free. Conditions often accompany access. Make note of the terms listed by promoters when applying for press access.
- Avoid betting on fights you cover.
- Avoid paying a subject for a story or interview.
- No accepting or soliciting gifts of any kind for favorable press or personal gain.
- Steer clear of conflicts of interest, real or perceived. If questions linger regarding whether or not a conflict exists, it’s likely best to avoid the appearance of impropriety.
- Crediting information from an original source should be common practice when using that information in your reporting.
- Using photos from another outlet without permission or attribution is considered stealing and grounds for dismissal from the association.
Hey Front Row Brian, here's a journalism tip for you. It's FEWER rules, not LESS rules dummy.
Who the fook is that FrontRowBrian? Fook this bitchass twitter troll account.
