Wow - this isnt a nice place. I made a post that offended people - I didn't mean it about the team itself but it was taken that way since I worded it poorly so I clarified. The teal army comment was supposed to lighten the mood to be funny but that was again a mistake.
My original post first...
bubble toes - the team hasnt rubbed me the wrong way - i really like the team. I am just tired of hearing (from whoever it is saying it how no one else has a chance against them - it comes across as offensive)
Oh- and I actually meant the comment about the fans rather than the kids - when i re-read after teal army attack, I realized I said it about the team and added the and/or fans when I actually wanted it to come across as meaning the "supporters/fans etc. - rather than the girls on the team...
Hmm....I do have to apologize about the awards comment. I think that the competitions should never go until Sunday at night. School is more important than cheer in my opinion, and we all are forced to deal with very difficult logistics and choices to try to get our kids to do both - and it is...
I agree that the line has been crossed and it has become annoying- I think Senior Elite is great - I loved watching them at BATC, but they (and/or their fans) come across as not having ANY respect for the talent of the other teams. What a change from a couple of years ago when they came across...
I wanted to let the ladies of F5 know how proud the parents were to see their great sportsmanship after it was announced that WCSS won. WCSS had a great day 2, and while I am sure it was disappointing to F5, who had a great day 1, they all stood up and did the "WC" world cup cheer when WCSS was...
Thanks! I feel the same way - sometimes the people ranting on this board about how awful the "moms" are is a bit misplaced. The "moms" need to be respectful of the athletes and coaches and not say mean things - no argurment there - but the coaches need to be respectful of the parents who are...
This was unneccesary. So they had a bad day or two- they are still a great team and deserve a lot of respect. I am sure those girls work really hard - they will get it together; encouragement would be great - digs about a placement for a competition a few weeks ago just isnt necessary.
Have to brag about my favorite team...they hit tonight - yeah! they won their division, senior champs, competition grand champs and a WOW award. Congratulations F5 - you were amazing today!
