Ok, before everyone starts throwing cows or cats read the post. Not looking to have anyone respond just need to kinda vent about this.
So an all-star gym posted this on their twitter and then the head coach/owner followed up with a rant on their open FB page about a whole bunch of supposed new terms and basically bashing "cheerlebrities"and the coaches and gyms that are willing to work with them.
First, let me say I hate this term but it is what it is. Second, have people forgotten that these "cheerlebrities" are still kids, most if not all of them are under 18? Why as an adult or a business would you find it necessary to call out these kids and basically say their not welcome at your gym? As a parent, seeing this basically tells me it's not a place I want my CP's going to..... ever.
I could go on about why I think this particular gym and coach felt the need to do this but what's the point.
I guess my little rant is just to say DON'T FORGET WE'RE TALKING ABOUT CHILDREN!!!!! Be respectful of this and if you don't like being on a team with a "cheerlebrity" or having them at your gym, fine. It's a free country and the best part about this sport is that there are plenty of gyms out there for everyone.
Ok, I'm done. Feel free to throw cats, cows, down vote, what have you.
P.S. All of the "Cheerlebrities" and their parents that I've met are pretty down to earth and act like everyone else. I'm sure there are some that are obnoxious brats, which is to be expected given the age but just because one may act that way doesn't mean they all do and shame on anyone who thinks that way.
