All-Star Must Read

[Nothanks]

cheermeup thanks, but someone did send it to me earlier. If you lost it since or it won't open, I do have it for whoever wants it.

Forget the Reality Show....I see another Lifetime movie coming. They are going to need an in house attorney pretty soon or do they have a parent that does that in exchange for tuition. If so, maybe they should proof read for Gianni.

Like the high school league website in South Carolina has had up for years "An athlete is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules"....If Johns Creek/Davenport lady did something shady....then they should be punished.

I don't agree with the posting of the names... (what up cyber bullying...)

And at any rate, Jamie Parrish sounds salty and pressed...he should have stayed out of the media.


but any way.... let me have a seat...and see how this unfolds

this gif is giving me life right now! and I totally agree with you!

Can I ask, who are all of these other cheerlebrities on this team? Is there a roster somewhere? Besides the three that have been mentioned on this board I don't know of any others.

Angel Rice is the only one I know.

I think one of the worst parts of that email is "Along with the show we will make you a brand!"

Each team is named after a brand, that is what they are referring to.

 

[CricketCheerMom]

Yeah but that's all sports. From peewee baseball to professional football, people follow the chance at more money/better recognition/better position. This isn't something cheer specific.

A first year gym is not a better position.....I wouldn't follow that. Baseball for example, they built a new stadium and they got all these great players. They still don't win and then they dismantle the team the following year because they can't afford the payroll. There will come a time when the Davenport's can't take the loss on their taxes anymore. There comes a time when it becomes a hobby not a business. Either that or they will just dissolve it and start a new one every few years until the IRS catches up with it.

I am a CPA, I don't just make bows.....

He was actually referring to "Branding" the athlete. Putting them on a show, giving them a clothing line. Saying that it will be profitable for them and they will make money for college. Stuff like that. Not referring to the team names..

I see what you are saying but if for some reason a parent came to him and said ' you did not turn my son into a brand' he could still very well say that he did.

The video said "where many Olympic hopefuls get their start"
Oh, yeah! I totally forgot cheerleading is in the Olympics now

Which video?

I thought the same thing - that confused me, but then again... this whole thing confuses me!

Which video?

The news video from the first post. The reporter says it.

Why would a parent fall for this branding stuff??? I hear the Davenport's are very nice people. Do they have a child who cheers?

they meant brand though as like a clothing brand and like how hannah montana is I'm guessing. a brand.

I never interpreted it that way.

I may be late to this party, but I think it's disgusting what they are doing.
Are they breaking any rules? No. But as a parent I think it's morally wrong.
Would I want my children involved in it? No.
Does it look bad for cheerleading? Yes!
The parties involved need to talk a long look at themselves and realize that they are doing nothing for the children, parents, or cheerleading, other than make us all look like drama, which I am good without!
