Thank you for weighing in @dantheman

I'm still waiting to see walden's proof of permissions evidence before moving any further with this.

Honestly I hope permissions were sought out here but the whole Mrs. Steemit supplying her own pictures in the comments thing certainly goes against what I would say permissions are. Thanks for the resteem.

The element of chance is that the voting is secret, nobody knows what the community will vote in the secret ballot poll, the voting on the comments(bets) is separate Dan.

Hi Dan, please have a look at the official @steemgames @steemsports response: 

https://steemit.com/steemsports/@steemgames/proof-of-consent-of-participants-and-the-danger-click-bait-f-u-posts, it is also important to note that founders need to be very careful when they get involved in the community to express their views, the re-steem of this inflammatory post created a problem for our brand and was unfounded. 

When a founder weighs in, it carries emotive weight and can divide a community, so it is important the founder informs himself of all sides of the arguements. At the same time, founder involvement if, positive can drive a community forward, if you look at the example of https://gnosis.pm/, the parent blockchain, Ethereum, founder Vitalik has allowed himself to be positively associated with the project. 

https://steemsports.com is a turnkey project you have at your community's disposal right now that can grow into something spectacular to boost the value of Steem, it is up to you if you want to wield it to help make Steem a greater "coin" than Ethereum or not depending on your personal actions going forward.
