Please don't put words in my mouth, I didn't say anyone had to commend her, but if you think I am going sit by while a whistle blower defamed for stating what no one else wants to acknowledge even exists...well you don't know me either.
Being a teenager...WOW! Is that all you got? kids or adults who are allowed to continue to make bad decisions with no consequences is what is wrong with our society as a whole, to say it's called being a teenager...well WOW. Yes people make mistakes, but there should be someone there to make sure that they don't continue to make the same "bad mistakes" as you would call it. When you continue to repeat the bad action it's not a mistake, it is a CHOICE. Yes, there are bad coaches/owners/parents and while it may be life, to allow them to continue in a sport that involves underage children is not a mistake, it is a choice by those that would rather look the other way.
Instead of just bashing someone you don't know, why not try and discuss the issue at hand. Bad gym owners/coaches/parents and athletes and what to do about them. In most other sports, if a coach or athlete is drunk or high, most likely the only person affected would be them. I mean a high baseball player, would probably do a lot of swinging and not hit anything, or not catch the pop up coming his way. A stoned baseball coach might just be sleeping in the dug out during the game instead of paying attention. A cheer coach who steps outside during a water break and takes a couple of hits and then comes in and attempts to spot an athlete working on a new skill is a HUGE problem. When an athlete is hanging in the gym parking lot with their buddies right before practice taking a few hits and then coming in and is a base for my flyer, that is a HUGE problem. Try solving the problem instead of defending it.
I have kids that are adults and teens and I have grandchildren, don't attempt to lecture me on "being a teenager". Once is a mistake, repeating is a choice, remember that.
