She's grown so much! I remember her stunt videos from last year, I was like dang this little girl is good! but her flexibility has improved she looks flawless!

Thanks! My CP has been in alot of time in stretching, conditioning, stunting, tumbling and toning those ABS in hopes of someday being known as an elite athlete in all-star cheer!
 
Dare accepted ;) google "the sexiest female ATHLETES of 2012" you're so narrow minded to blame other people's body image issues on these young athletes. It's in EVERY sport. Please look at it from both sides. People idolized Kelsey and she is so skinny. Does that mean she shouldn't be a cheerlebrity? Why are you REALLY angry with them being popular?

Oh ok, so because it's in every sport it's acceptable. Well that's great. Now that I know because bulimia and anorexia exist in gymnastics, I'm gonna forget every concern I have that those things exist in the sport that has become my life. Do not imply that I'm bitter towards them because they're popular and I'm not, because I know that's what you implied. I do not wish to be popular in the cheerleading industry, I wish to someday look back and say I left a positive mark on this industry, and that's more than most cheerleaders can say for themselves.
I will bite the bait this time, but next time you'd like to come at me with a specific example, please make sure I have not already covered this in another post. I am not criticizing these girls for being skinny, I'm criticizing the overall mindset in this industry that in order to be the perfect and best cheerleader you must meet certain requirements. I think the idea of cheerlebrities is actually not a bad one. I love this sport so much because of the people I began idolizing 6 seasons ago when I first fell in love with this sport. The mindset among many athletes is dangerous, and just because it exists in other sports doesn't mean that it is any less serious and dangerous in this one.
I'm not blaming these athletes for being skinny, I'm not getting mad at them for working hard to maintain their physical appearance, I'm angry with the way that cheerleaders think concerning these things.
You wanna know why I'm angry? You want me to be completely honest with you, instead of you drawing conclusions? I hate what this industry has done because I barely eat. Because I've made myself throw up many times because I felt like I wasn't good enough. Because I barely ate for the entirety of Worlds weekend because I was called obese. That's why I hate this industry. Because although medically I'm not even considered overweight, I'm considered obese in this sport. I'm CALLED obese in this sport, to my face, and it makes me hate myself. I can't stop it. I can't tell my brain to stop thinking that I'm not good enough. I can't tell my brain to feel good about myself. It's the pressures of this industry that are only being fueled by ignorant people like you that are destroying people just like me, and I can PROMISE you that I'm a minor case. I'm strong. Every once in a while I can regroup and tell myself that I'm okay the way I am. That I need to just make myself happy, and not try and please everyone else, but it's always the same. I always end up back where I started. It's everyone criticizing everyone else for not having the perfect Cheer Abletics, for not having the darkest tan, for not having the nicest clothes, for not cheering for the World champion team.
I've looked at things like this from every side there is to look at it, unfortunately it seems like you are the one who can't look at it that way.
 
First of all, this conversation started because you tried to insult me, so maybe consider approaching situations differently yourself. I never said it's wrong for an athlete to have abs, I said it's disgusting that this industry is getting to a point that abs matter more, and that if you don't have those abs well then you're not as good as various people. You're acting like I'm on a mission to bring down toned ab muscles, I'm not. I just hate the mentality that an athletes' abs matter more than their talent. Talent that I NEVER denied.



Placements are not my issue, stop putting words in my mouth and creating an argument where there isn't one. If Jody, Brad, Angela, whoever were standing in front of me, I'd gladly say to their face that I think it's dumb how much recognition their athletes get solely for their body types. I think it's stupid that, rather than admiring talent, a thin frame with a toned 6-pack is becoming the standard for what a junior or youth girl in this sport should be in a matter of years.
Also, please do not put the amount of "instafollowers" or their personality as validation for their team placements, you're making yourself look like even more of an idiot than you already have done by completely changing the words that I've said.

No no no, I was simply stating that you were wrong for what you said. YOU turned into something more by trying to throw insults.
 
If you had a daughter is that what you'd want her looking up to? Girls with big hair and abs and thousands of instagram followers? Or girls who have been busting their butts on level 5 teams since they were 12 and getting recognition through talent? I grew up during the Kelsey Rule era and idolized her because of what she could do during a routine, not because of what she could do with her hair and makeup before it. And it seems like that time has come and gone. The point being made here is the focus on beauty and fame is completely overshadowing the sport aspect of cheerleading. Trying to get respect as a sport is hard when 15 year olds are selling signed and scented bows to they "fans". That's downright strange. And is just making our sport be the joke people want to make it out to be.

Do you not think athletes like Jamie are talented or Peyton. Because I feel like they are pretty amazing. You can be talented and beautiful. Just saying.
 
You're writing paragraphs about girls with abs. Let's get real here. I was just saying they are talented as well as pretty.
 
Fine... Don't follow them. I said that because I wanted to emphasize how charming and charismatic they are. That's fine, don't fan gurl after these athletes. No one asked you to. But don't dog them out cause you think they're affecting our sport. They're just athletes. We are the sport... You're 5 years ago. So let us idolize who we want. I have seen no negative outcome besides your negative perspective.

Quite frankly I have no idea who you're talking about so I have no opinion on them.
