Photography ethical situation
This situation actually occurred at a high school.

During the soccer game for sectional championships, the high school newspaper/yearbook photographer was on the sidelines taking photos. He would take a few, then stop. Occasionally during his "off" moments, he would turn to the crowd, yell the school's name, and pep up the crowd. It was nothing formal.
The athletic director told the student the next day he could take pictures, but he could't be a fan too. No cheers allowed from him, no assisting the cheerleaders. He had to be either the photographer or a fan.
The AD stressed that future cheering from the photographer could get him banned from other events. Parents were concerned because they feel the photographer keeping the crowd riled helped the school’s team win.
