It appears that teams/coaches will get scores now but no awards til the event. I saw that programs are also asking kids not to share them though...

He was accused before that! A little girl at the gym he worked at before MSU told another coach and she blew it off. Unreal.
It's interesting that people say they don't hear of it often from this or that program. I coached for HS for awhile and have followed all star...
I also feel like cheer is a perfect grooming ground because it normalizes things like: *Grown men calling 10 year olds "little sis so beautiful...
I feel like the "grown man grooming younger male athlete" thing happens more than people realize. The sad part is that cheer is often the first...

Something I will say in defense of the athletes themselves: When people are speaking out and leveling very serious accusations like rape, abuse,...
