@tojofasho I respect your opinion, but the majority of this thread is people venting about COVID19, mask wearing, politicians, schools, what other sports/gyms are doing, etc. Being that the majority of this 91 page thread has very little to do with specific Varsity actions, you might want to start a thread specifically for moved competitions and refund policies.
That would be fine too, but considering this one is literally titled
Varsity Response, and things such as moved competitions, virtual competitions, refunds, etc. fall under that umbrella, this seems like the correct place to search for the answer to my question. With that being said, it also says COVID, so I can also see why people come here to vent if they think of it as two separate topics in one thread, rather than the virus and specifically how Varsity is responding, which was how I interpreted it. Personally, I don't believe that taking what should be a helpful tool for those who are trying to find answers, and clogging it up with information that doesn't pertain to cheerleading and just focuses on the virus on its own/individual opinions, seems like it doesn't make much sense to me or the other people who are specifically looking for information on how cheer is being impacted on a day-to-day basis. It should be it's own thing, so that people have a safe place to vent and talk with their fierceboard family.
I will say that things like gym closures falling in this thread makes sense because it relates to the topic of the board, which is literally titled "Allstar Cheerleading", as do even things like state closures since it ties into competitions being hosted and held. I'm not saying we need a thread of just Varsity refund policies and moved competitions. It simply seems like it would be wise to split the two topics in some sort of way,
perhaps lock this one down and start two new ones: COVID rants/information vs. COVID impacts on the cheer world. There'd be some overlap, sure, and maybe a little bit of confusion initially, but I do think it would be better and easier to
find information if one was mostly for
venting and personal opinions, whereas the other was for
important intel on what is going on and what updates we are getting. Both necessary in their own way, for obvious reasons, but just to make the thing a bit easier to navigate. No offense meant to anybody, in case it comes off as an attack.
