When the regulatory body states its okay to throw and build on grass surfaces.... the message is it is safe. Sports in general have NGB’s that are bound by Congressional law to set standards that have the participants best interest in mind... the cheer industry forces this “standard watch” into...
Education will not be enough to expose the cheer industry for all the dark corners...the cheer industry has not cleansed from within and victims are hesitant, afraid, to come forward. 'The Wizard of Oz'...those within the hierarchy, put forth mandates and rules as if it is for the betterment of...
Respectfully disagree that they are protecting the industry they profit from. This is totally about controlling the industry….for the wrong reasons. Protecting the USASF….who signs the contracts with Disney et al? USASF or Varsity…it is not USASF. Your point is acknowledged….however, safety and...
Tough to present comments without repercussions….not bashing those that are working so hard to march forward… Using an independent auditor for the financials…would rather just see the IRS tax return…it will give much more information, INCLUDING the tax structure at the federal level…and who has...
This is all so complicated….however, the original question of this thread…..Will the USASF get to an independent and unbiased state?….ever? BTY, what happened to the rest of the questions….the original ones that were sent….what is the tax structure of USASF, not the state rendered certificate...

Smoke and mirrors…..Cat and mouse….Bait and wait……Loosing faith in the small shrewd of transparency that was possibly there….questions are not hard to answer, but the reluctance is choking...
Questions 4a and 4e with 3 days time…they have already been asked these questions…. these questions and answers will tell and line up a number of others….
The powers-that-be, by understanding the fear in the industry should be enough to shame even the highest to listen….question for them: "Do you understand how the industry is viewing the top, those in charge? Are you even interested in knowing? Ruling through intimidation is so old fashioned and...
USASF is not registered as a 501c(6)…USA Cheer STATES they are registered as a 501c(6)…but for USA Cheer, there is no federal record of them applying for this tax determination……USASF is interested in growing the industry…but only as it pertains to the 'lining of Varsity pockets'……USASF is...
USASF is NOT a 501c(6)…they are a state registered non profit only….they do not, have not filed with the IRS to be a 501c anything….they do not file 990 tax returns that are required IF you are a 501 c anything. USASF is a subsidiary…of Varsity. They are not required by law to function as a NGB...
Women's Flat Track Derby Association a 501(c)(3)…..here are their 990 tax returns where it is designated…good post, BlueCat…..http://www.guidestar.org/FinDocuments/2011/320/328/2011-320328905-08ce0182-9.pdf
