All-Star Cancel Cheersport?

[yourfavoritebackspot]

I hope everyone is safe. No cheer competition is worth the risk of loosing a life or serious injuries. its just not. :/

A bunch of the New England teams/athletes have had their flights cancelled. I saw that Jason from Pro Athletics is driving out through Ohio rather than straight down 95 to try and avoid the storm (a 22 hour drive). Crazy, all the gym owners are joking about crossing over athletes to other gyms to help out or creating a "New England All Stars" with the kids that do make it down. I think at least one gym has decided not to go.

I just don't think Cheersport can cancel. They certainly can't reschedule - wayyyy too many plans an arrangements have been made.

The New England allstars! I love it!! This route would kill me to look at but I think I'd rent some kindof 15 passenger van and pile in with some friends to make it not so terrible.....and fly home. I could live with that.

I have to agree. I didn't read any of the last page-ish as drama, just curiosity or legit questions since they've posted that they are a coach. Seemed a natural question to ask so I am confused as to why the bold, all caps, and excessive punctuation was necessary.

I AM TOO!!!!!!!................:):rolleyes: and besides, I answered the question....... Cheers and moving on........

 

[CheerCoach84]

Because he always posts that way. I've just gotten used to it. It wasn't any particular thing here - all his posts are bold with tons of punctuation. :confused:

Good call MT! There will be other Cheersport Nationals but you can't replace an athlete should something happen to them in this weather

Maryland Twisters pulled out? Bummer.

 

[sarahh_cheers]

i would think it would be more southern and western teams pulling. most northeasterns know how to deal with snow! still a shame MT had to pull, but it would be more tragic if one of their athletes were injured. better safe than sorry.

As sad as it is - it's a good call! With no flights avail, putting that many cheerleaders on the rd in this weather was a tragedy waiting to happen! Stay safe and warm my friends!

I feel like it'd be easier and shorter just to rent a boat and go down the coast. Bundle up and take a sea-doo :P I kid.

But, I did Oneonta, NY (near Albany) to Columbus on that same route in a snow storm with my friends and that was treacherous. You get near the border of PA and NY and tractor trailers will attempt to pass you going 65mph on a one lane road while everyone else is going 30 with zero visibility. It is terrifying. I get they have to make their schedules, but they put everyone else's lives in absolute danger. They just disregard everyone else's safety.

I seriously hope he makes it to Atlanta safely.

We live about 15 miles south of the Atlanta airport and all the ice is melting off the trees right now! And we would be happy to compete against the New England All-Stars. I sincerely hope that every athlete that gets here will have a team to compete with!

I flew into Atlanta from Chicago this morning with no problem on Delta so there's hope. I took the train into midtown and caught a cab home into Buckhead from there. The highways are better than the side roads but definitely more passable compared to the mess two weeks ago. Safe travels. Take your time.
