Agreed on the twitter stuff. I think the mature people do think it only reflects on the ones posting, but on the whole people are liable to say "Jamie's janktastic Allstars are talking smack on twitter" rather than what it really is (which is a minority). Fair or not, it does reflect on the program which is probably why I see adults from cheer programs trying to remind kids to #stayclassy and watch what they post. That's in our gym rules, my guess is that it's in everyone's. if not, it should be.So very true, but the subjectivity of the scoring system, simple math errors, missed deductions, inflated difficulty scores where the difficulty doesn't exist etc will always leave room for debate the next day. It is what it is and after watching for 15 years it hasn't changed much.
As for twitter...it has just about ruined human decency as almost everyone at times tweets comments that they would not be said in a face to face environment. I doubt that any team is exempt from this occurrence and for adults to label an entire team or program based on the comments of a small minority is somewhat immature in itself.
