All-Star Trends You Want To See Die For Next Season

Brand "ambassadors"

As long as these companies get to enjoy the abundance of free advertising, I suspect it will continue to be a thing. [emoji849] It's the most annoying thing and I've seen how hard it can be for the teammates of a kid who is a mom-made "superstar" in her own mind.

YES!!!!!! In fact, Ill raise it to no more "run by mom" IG accounts of their #futurewildcat.

And their "this brand" ambassador and "that brand" ambassador and future most beautiful and talented cheerleader. Lady, your kid is 7. Really?

I recently got sucked down into that rabbit hole while looking for something on Instagram. I was horrified by what I saw.

Sometimes they are just regular kids and their mama photoshops the hell out of their sweet baby faces. It's actually horrifying.

Eta: I read your post wrong, but whatevs. Photoshopping children's faces freaks me out. [emoji24]

I am so over this. We have a couple of kids in our gym that apparently think this is the route to fame and fortune.

Brand "ambassadors"

Yes! this! It's so exploit-y (I know I just made that word up)

I guess it could be considered a trend because it seems to get worse and worse each year, but something I would like to see die next year? Disrespect.

Athletes disrespecting other athletes
Athletes disrespecting other gyms
Coaches disrespecting other gyms
Parents disrespecting coaches
Athletes, parents, coaches disrespecting EP's

It has to stop.

Also, athletes disrespecting coaches.

I would love to see some behavior on twitter stop this season not aiming this at any specific program but just cheer in general. I would love to see it become a more positive sport on social media

This is going to be unpopular and believe me I am all about having good sportsmanship, but it bothers me so much when (especially at worlds) other teams run up to the champions and surround them before their name is called or before they are allowed to have their own reaction. I understand that the other teams are acting completely out of kindness, but the moment that a teams name is called announcing them as world champions, it completes everything those athletes have been working towards their whole life. Ive never won worlds, but I think that if I ever did win, the only thing I would want to see is my team mates and celebrate with my team and my coach, not be immediately hugged by a girl I've never met from the other side of the country before I could hug my own best friend. Its different when the hugs come after pictures or after the initial celebration, but I hate when the newly crowned champions aren't given the moment their entire life has been working toward. Again, I am not saying sportsmanship is a bad thing, I think there needs to be way more in cheer. However, I am just saying that there is a time and a place for everything.

so the uniform itself is the bra? I'm confused for no reason...

No, you just can't wear one without it showing. Taken from page 3 of the 2015 Uniform thread - it's a prototype, but you can't wear a proper sports bra with this at all cos everything will show. Some apparently have built in bras, but those don't work for anyone bigger than a B cup, I'd wager

^^^thats my daughter's uniform. I'm not at all fan of uniforms that aren't bra friendly, but the fabric really was thick and tight enough that I don't think anyone had an issue with support. The NECK was a much bigger problem...there are girls with skin issues from how tight it was. They're being replaced for the upcoming season.

Maybe (HOPEFULLY) this is just a local trend, but I'd like to see the end of cheerleaders being photographed in their uniforms, under waterfalls or soaking wet, by questionable photographers.

Stone-soaked uniforms.

I know people love glitz, but it is never that serious.

Um. What.
Also the booty tooching in photos needs to end. Like, yesterday.

Yes. I think it's a massive problem, but my opinion must not be popular because it keeps happening. Even parents who I know and usually consider to have good judgement are allowing their children to be in these photos. The photographer offered my daughter money to do it...so I blocked him, bc NO.
