All-Star Must Read

[lovecheering]

If my kids were cheering at Trinity right now ... I think I'd be checking out other allstar gyms. I would not want to have any connection with all this mess right now. Just my opinion.

Your information is incorrect. The scholarships were given to boys from level 3 - level 5. This is fact!

Sorry for the mis-information. My point, however, is that many gyms use recruiting tactics and the amount of money they spend doing so shouldn't make one more right or wrong than another - and at the end of the day, a gym - or any business for that matter - is not going to be successful just by throwing money around....a point which may be proving itself true as we speak!

But (and correct me if I'm wrong) wasn't he making allegations when Shayla left GA in the first place this summer? I remember there was A LOT of hostility from him on twitter.

Really? He started twitter drama? What is he, 12?

Shouldn't you be more mature than the kids you coach? Smdh

Private schools can do that.

Imo..
Man up about what you did get on camera and own up to it IF you did it.. don't hide from it now deal with your ish! Like an adult.

If you didn't do no wrong speak up about it put something out defending your self!

If you're going to do illegal things in our "our" sport DON'T EFFIN COACH PERIOD I've grown to HATE people like this in our industry it bugs me so much.. okay rant over

My say in the matter is does winning worlds really mean this much. I would love to hear from people from ca, cea,rays, Cali and Brandon to see if it's really worth going through all this to just win competitions.

Yes.. Key word is private.. Not funded by public taxes

Take this outside of the cheer world. How many people have taken jobs out there because of benefits? Many of us. Do the Fortune 500's offer more than the Mom and Pop's? Of course they do. Do many company's have relocation packages? Yes.

I think the majority of us would be upset if a news station posted a picture of the front of our home, with a reporter hounding our child, while we're obviously not home over an accusation. This is just not right on so many levels. This news station doesn't mention where these kids used to cheer, it only says they were both on teams that won world championships. Why would they purposely leave off where Shayla used to cheer since they mentioned Jamie is from GA AllStars? Why don't they mention one of the parents coaches at Trinity? Were these facts purposely left out, or were they never shared with the journalist?

Things that make you say hmmm....

I can already tell this situation is going to hell in a handbasket faster than you can say double full... Down voting.

Sadly just like everything else that goes crazy in any sport involving kids, its the kids who lose.

I know most of you are going to bash me for saying this, but I live in Johns Creek and know that the school is likely to do this.
They are top of the charts at athletics, which obviously raises spirit and commotion over the school. I honestly can say I have never seen a school like Johns Creek decked out with awards, plaques, trophies - you name it. I figured when reading all the names that maybe they were recruiting athletes.
And although I am suspicious of the situation, I will not fault Johns Creek High School. It is an excellent school with amazing test scores, and arguably the best school in Fulton County.

So, was Jamie really wrong to do that? Would it have been acknowledged if he had not been Shayla Moore's coach? Possibly. Personally, I believe that if Jamie wasn't bitter, the situation wouldn't have been addressed. However, the report specifies that it will be handled in a few weeks, so we'll just have to wait until then.

Am I the only person that was bothered by the fact that these two minors were actually identified by name in this article? I am a bit bothered by the fact that the media published the name of a minor this way, but maybe I am just a bit over-protective of the athletes themselves.
