It was definitely HOW it was said, it was a CLEAR insult to CEA, and the fact that it was not immediately deleted once found out it was not true. I don't think anyone is taking your "apology" seriously because of your actions from the start. Then fighting with people on twitter about it afterwards. Not professional whatsoever. I really hope you are not a judge, that just makes it worse because you should know better. Whole situation would have been avoided if it was worded differently. If you are such an expert on cheerleading you would know that Fri night was a performance for charity, not part of the competition. So.....these kids perform for charity then have to compete first thing next morning, only to deal with this. A legit mistake is one thing but to me this does not qualify as such.
