We're not going to get the real cheer show we all seem to want from TLC. I don't recall what channel Cheer Nation was aired on (I will laugh if it was TLC!) but I think we all agree that it showed you can incorporate reality tv and drama with the true aspects of a top notch cheer program. Now let someone do that with an all star program, and although I think we'd still have plenty of things to talk about, our complaints would not be focused on how the show was reinforcing every negative stereotype that already exists about our sport.This show make's me sick! They aren't even portraying what REAL all-star cheerleading is about. It is just a bunch of parents, and this coach who want their 5 minutes of fame. We spend enough time defending that this is an actual sport and show off our major talents and now we have this show where it's a bunch of little girls who really can't defend or stand up to their parents as their parents push them to the max and "lives through her child." When is TLC going to get a clue? Enough with the little girls and parent's drama. Show a REAL competitive team where the cheerleaders want to be there and win for themselves and where coaches are supporting and helping their team while still being Disciplinary, Not this show about a bunch of drama filled moms and a wacked out coach.
