All-Star Usasf Major Changes

[crazycheermom]

I agree with the post about not asking the "awkward" girl to shimmy... never thought of it that way, but realistic... my cp is the awkward one that would NEVER shimmy...in public... even though subjective, it needs to be based on appropriateness..period... male, female, white, black, green or blue....

That's like telling girls not to be girly on the mat. Should we only have really boring choreography and all wear tshirts from ac moore and long pants because it is showing off our sexuality and personality? if a guy is a cheerleader and is gay and happens to be girly, i believe it is completely wrong to say they can't act like themselves. we don't ask the not very girl, awkward girl on our team to shimmy after a pass cause that's not her. telling a "flamboyant" make to not shimmy, if that's what he likes, is the same. you're ridding the sport of personality at that point. might as well all have to dye our hair the same color and do all the same dance moves on the team because we shouldn't have anything showing off who we are as people

For that matter, when did it become impossible for men to dance/perform without flaunting their sexuality? Annnnd can someone tell me where my boyfriend was during the class? Because he looks like an awkward frog having a sneeze attack when he dances!

That is because it is already in the rules that they aren't allowed.

Okay so what do u do after you get the skills that are allowed?? Do u just stop and be done? Okay lets just all throw crazy stuff on the mat and disqualify all of us? WE CAN ALL WIN (;

USASF is so pathetic. Let me tell you something about USASF. We were best friends all of my all star cheer experience. I know, right? It's so embarrassing. I don't even... Whatever. So then I started competing standing fulls and bounding passes through to doubles that were totally gorgeous but then USASF was like, weirdly jealous of them. Like, if I would blow USASF off to compete the skills I had, USASF would be like be like, "Why didn't you compete a backhandspring before you double?" And I'd be like, "Why are you so obsessed with me?" So then, for my birthday party, which was an all-girls pool party, I was like, "USASF, I can't invite you, because I think you're holding me back." I mean I couldn't have a USASF staff member at at my party. There were gonna be cheerleaders competing their actual passes. I mean, right? So then my mom called USASF and started yelling, it was so retarded. And then USASF dropped out of school because no one would listen to the dumb rules they posted and USASF came back on March 28th to post new rules, and all of USASF's hair was cut off and USASF was totally weird, and now I guess USASF's on crack.

BAHWAHWAHWAH.....HILARITY!!!

I know this is a lot to take in at one time, but i assure you that the show will go on. in 2005 rules were released that we were no longer allowed to do doubles in college cheer, rewind full ups and a few other things. At that time everyone swore the sky was falling, and the future of coed stunting was in jeopardy. that rule about full twisting rewinds affected a very small percentage of us. at the time only the top 2 or 3 teams in each division had anything close to a majority of double fulls. the rules are made based off of things that happen. USASF, Varsity and everyone else quoted in this thread dont sit around trying to make your lives miserable. something happened, and they had to act. none of us are lucky enough to be on the board or able to sit in on the meetings, so arguing that they made the wrong choice is a little one sided. I know in 05, it was based off of college cheerleading not having insurance if things werent changed. if they didnt pick something, we would have lost it all. remember, were all on the same team. usasf varsity etc have quite a bit more invested into the future of cheerleading than most people think about. remember it employees thousands of people, and their interest is to keep it going, even though sometimes rules come out people dont like.

on a seperate note. has anyone ever stopped to think about what unlimited skills do to an athletes body? cheer is the only sport in the world without an off season. so imagine a very talented 10 year old. they learn a full, they learn a semi janky double and keep working. they will throw tens of thousands of these over the next 8 to 9 years with no significant off time for their body to heal. if theyre lucky they make it the entire career without an injury, but the damage has been done. maybe its because i am a parent now, but sometimes you have to help people from doing things you know are going to hurt them.

in the end, it will all be ok, creative teams will still be creative, and cheer will go on. you too will love it again, this is just a big fight between you and your love is all.

ShawnsDadof4 idea for the Occupy Worlds shirt would've been a lot more fitting considering this latest development...
