If they insist on using gymnasts as commentators...please use Shawn Johnson...at least she has an interest in the sport.
I'm all for Justin Carrier!!!
 
I remember last year they constantly mixed up tick tocks and switch ups. The guys from UCA/NCA are the very worst
Did anyone see the one last year (I think it was UCA allstar - but who knows!) where they called the team was doing scales and the announcer said very confidently "full squad scorpions - look at that great flexibility" I was like c'mon at least learn what stunt it is so you don't sound incompetent. They seem to mix up skill names quite often!
 
Just because a job is hard doesn't mean we aren't allowed to criticize. We want someone on TV who knows as much about cheerleading as we do. They don't have to be patronizing to get a loyal audience or alienate everybody. But calling things the wrong names, saying its a single when its a double, going off on the wrong skills to 'prove' to the audience why one team didn't get a certain place. Really?? The casual watcher has no idea why someone got 1st-Last. Blaming a basket when the next team team bobbles the heck out of a stunt confuses everyone! (this is not a comment on the placements... I think those were fine) But making up reasons for what places teams go is just dumb.

It comes down to this. What 'they' (be it ESPN, Varsity, the production company, or the commentators) think cheerleading is or is important in cheerleading isn't true anymore. How many CRINGE when Jeff Webb commentates? Just want someone who knows and loves this sport as much as we do. JUSTIN CARRIER FOR THE WIN!
 
sorry but having amanda borden commentating worlds is like having david beckham commentate the superbowl...yea both sports have a ball, and they run a lot...but thats about it...to have an ex gymnast commentate our "most prestigious event" instead of say, an actual person from our industry...well that just seems plain silly if ya ask me!
