Sorry for all these posts, but I just have a question: how big is the creep factor at large comps?
I just convinced my friend to enter her young daughter into AS cheer. She’s into it, but has been reading up on the culture and asked me about this issue recently. I told her it wasn’t exactly like traffickers were kidnapping girls off the street by knifepoint, but that it was an issue and that girls are told to proactively protect themselves.
But then it occurred to me: I really don’t know for sure. It wasn’t an issue when I was active and all we really had to deal with was men taking photos of us without permission. But cheer has grown into such a large industry now and I’m not sure if this issue has grown with it. All I know is that Cheersport has a bit of an issue because it’s in Atlanta. So how big of a problem is it? I want to give my friend accurate info.
