Mobile Journalists To Earn Money On Their Phones Covering Sports

Don't the broadcast entities (ESPN, Fox, etc) have the rights? Does this say that fans or credentialed journalists can film games and get paid for video? Or am I misreading?
 
We are a sports news network. More specifically a social news sports network of mobile phone video journalists. We don't have to pay any rights fees. This falls under First Amendment, Freedom of the Press, when there is news reporting, commentary and criticism. And we do not need media credentials. So we are not restricted as other media companies who accept media credentials and the restrictions those can come with.

Sounds legit.
 
Words escape me. I'm sure we'll buy dozens of these stories with our American Express card.
