All-Star What's The Freakin' Problem? And, Where Does It Freakin' Extend.

I've been doing cheerleading a LONG time and love cheer music but when California All Stars started their whole "cali freakin fornia" theme, I thought of the "negative" connotation first. Even though it CAN mean something else you should always go with your BEST judgement with a sport such as cheerleading, especially since it involves so many young kids. Also many people bring their parents and grandparents to events and you want them to have a positive image. As good as CA bullets are, they should have no problem making another hot rhyme into the cheer world.

Where the heck have you been?

:D

Oops, do I lose shimmys because I said "heck" and it can mean something else?

Gosh darn it!

Oops!

Shoot!

Oops!
 
Well in that case I think a beat down is worse.
That's promoting violence and I know if my daughter went to school and said she was going to give someone a ga beat down she would probably be suspended!
If she said freaking um nope I don't see her getting in trouble.

Well I think it's freakin stupid...
I love me some Cali
 
This might not be a popular opinion, but I would actually like to see what is considered to be acceptable language in this country take a slightly more conservative turn...

So many words in the English language that used to be so powerful are now so meaningless! Love, hate, any form of profanity, these words used to mean something and now we use them to describe a pair of socks... How can "awesome" be a meaningful enough word to describe the power of god when you might just as easily describe a taco as being awesome? It just seems, to me, that there is hardly even a way express yourself verbally (or in writing) that really carries any weight, and that's a shame... I know this is a slightly extreme viewpoint to come out of a discussion of one word being removed from a voice over, but it is mine none the less...

It's funny that you mention that..

When abroad- I was seeing this guy who VERY rarely used the word 'love' to describe anything. Yes, he was a 'guy', but it made me think how often I use the word 'love' to describe things that, honestly, I don't really 'love.' Like 'OMG, I LOVE so-and so' when really, they're just an acquaintance that I don't care for that much. Or how we throw around the word 'sorry' and don't ever do anything about it. Makes you think how easily we, as Americans, over-exaggerate our feelings/emotions and how easily it can be misconstrued.
 
On one hand I can understand that it's NCA- their house, their rules and if you choose to compete at one of their events you have to respect that. However, we have a government agency that deems what is appropriate or not as far as music, movies, and words said in the media. In my opinion we should be able to honor something that is okay-ed by a federal agency to be broadcast globally.

Great point and I agree so much. It's like don't turn on the freakin radio or tv because you will hear a lot worse. If it's ok for that to be broadcasted without explicit warnings so there fore something a family could openly listen too then the same for a cheer routine. Its not that serious.

Ok I'm done I know my voice changes nothing. It's not a democracy it's a cheerocracy ... Lol

Good night everyone!
