Default Do we need a waiver of some sort?

Hi all,

I thought I'd throw this question out here as a starting point. If we're going to be starting up a website to advertise for sports photography, would we need some sort of consent form from each person that is pictured on the site?
There's more to my question than that but in general, if you use someone's photo (that you took during a sporting event) as a display at your booth or website, do you need special permission?
I look forward to hearing from you. For what it's worth, I'm in the San Francisco Bay Area in case laws differ from place to place.
Thanks!
