Our program has been successful the last couple of years. That being said, I was embarrassed at the behavior of some athletes, coaches, and parents at a recent event in Pittsburgh this month.
I saw kids, parents, and even some coaches from our program cheering when another competitors team had some falls and stunt problems. I was appalled at this behavior. Other teams and parents in my section were clearly disgusted by behavior.
I never thought I would say this, but I am embarrassed by the behavior of these people from our program. Cheerleading is a team sport. Sportsmanship is part of this. This is clearly not the type of behavior I want my child to model.
Am I wrong to feel this way or is this what it has come to in allstar cheerleading? Is this the new norm?
