    Default MD without press passes for The O

    I wonder how MD will do their coverage with no press passes.... I highly doubt blechman bought his guy's front row tickets.

    How do they not have press passes, Wtf?

    I never understood it when Rx didn't get passes and I don't with MD either. How is a news service, a fan site not allowed to cover the sport?

    Kinda hard to believe this is true, Blechy has never removed his tongue from the IFBB inner rectum.

    No press passes until you pay your employees maybe?

    The bigger question is why is Bob Chic dressed as PT Barnum at the presser?

    You've got it backwards Young Gotti... The NFL certainly would ban them BUT... ESPN would never be stupid enough to get banned. Maybe MD is getting what they deserve?

    You're right. No other north american sports organization is this stupid. They take what they can get. Ed & Betty Pariso, Tim Gardner and Robin Chang are all guilty of this. I've seen it at local levels up here in Canada too ... promotors requesting that small publications purchase booth space in exchange for getting an opportunity to provide coverage. It's asinine. Then what happens is their is zero coverage and it becomes an underground event. Mission accomplished?

    Anyway, good luck to Olympia LLC. They have a Mr. Olympia in Phil Heath who apparently doesn't believe in 'hype' either.

    The only thing that has ever mattered to the Weider organization (& its successor) is that it wields complete control of professional bodybuilding in North America, including the gateway into it. It doesn't matter who is helped or hurt (including itself), as long as it the control is maintained. However, that is how all institutional authority functions in western society, so it's not like the Weider machine is unique.
