You do know you shouldn't be doing this. All you are doing is providing every school around a video they normally wouldn't get and is just like an opposing team sending someone to tape games which is highly frowned upon in the district.

What the [censored] are you talking about? He's not taping the practices. You can watch the same games on tv, if a team really wanted to see the other team they could send somebody to tape it. Not some big secret game, hundreds of ppl could go tell exactly what happened in it. Nothing wrong with this.

I know your not very bright but where did you miss the part where it plainly says "and is just like an opposing team sending someone to tape games which is highly frowned upon in the district."

I will spell it out for you. It can be done but it is an agreement amongst all LPD and the region for the most part to not do this. It is not looked at as a moral or ethical thing to do, I know these 2 words aren't in your vocabulary so to let you know they mean you shouldn't do it because it jsut isn't right.

I don't know of any team that doesn't send scouts to watch their next opponent and take notes, but none of them video or take pictures. Again this is viewed as immoral and unethical (2 more words you know nothing about, see above description).

Hey Beast, not to argue with you, but I was just thinking about it this way:

Even if I am filming the games and posting them on the net for football fans to watch, wouldn't it still not be the same thing as teams sending scouts to film games because if they WANTED to film the games, they would film them . . likewise, if they didn't want to film them due to it being unethical, why would they search on the Internet for videos of the games if they knew it wasn't right?

I am not affiliated with any teams, schools, etc. so if I am just a random fan going around capturing footage and posting it on the web, how is it still unethical or immoral?

I guess what I'm saying in a nutshell is that, if they came online and started watching footage of the games, what is the difference between doing that and having someone film the games? Either way, it's unethical, and they shouldn't be doing either as far as I'm concerned - if they're going around searching for footage of other teams when they shouldn't be, that's a problem on their hands for even doing it, not mine. Just because the material is on the web doesn't mean it's automatically going to be in their faces unless they search specifically for it.

If I knew they frowned upon it, I would do it every week on purpose. What are they going to do about it?

They only frown on the other teams doing it for scouting purposes not the fans in general filming for their personal use. If a fan does it and says hey coach I got a film of school ______ I made for us it would be the coaches place to refuse it and let them know why.

I guess saying you shouldn't be doing it was making to strong of a statement. The real point I was trying to make was that it is frowned upon by the schools around for opposing schools to film their games and it could be viewed by some that you posting them like this is unfair since you filmed school A and not school B.

I don't have a problem with you doing it myself and like to see them just giving you a little FYI.

From that video ( distance and angle ) I could tell very little about formations or players . Appreciate the effort but try to get on top of bleachers and zoom zoom zoom !

Those post were made while I was making mine, it was kinda long. When you were blathering about morality in sports which btw is an oxymoron, its just a game.
