THERE IS NO SHAME IN BEING A SURVIVOR OF SEXUAL ABUSE OR ASSAULT. Tell Marisa, @IndyMarisaK, your story so that someone else doesn't end up having the same story. #NOMOREFEAR

mattstoller.substack.com/p/cheerleading… READ. Money / Power / Brand / Everything over athletes. When money is your only concern, everything else can end up as collateral damage, including our kids. They want the power that comes with governance but not the responsibility. They failed us for $$$

Another thing: Can we please just call #USASF & #USACheer VARSITY? It has been reported here & elsewhere that they are only supported by Varsity employees. So let's call them what they are, VARSITY BRANDS. So when we talk about failures, we don't mince words. VARSITY FAILED US.

At least their uniforms aren't Varsity? Makes me wonder if Missouri Baptist Athletics understands that they just jumped in bed with the company responsible for these stories: usatoday.com/in-depth/news/… usatoday.com/in-depth/news/… USA Cheer neglected athlete safety. That's it. That's the tweet.

What we can do to protect children from sexual assault?Perps don’t operate in a vacuum. They need institutions & their lawyers to ignore, turn a blind eye & conceal. It’s time for law enforcement to prosecute institutions & lawyers who violate reporting laws & obstruct justice.

After monopolies, pedophilia, & governance, what else do we need to fix in our industry? Price gouging? Uniform standards? Ethics standards? Athlete protection standards? Music? We all know it isn't perfect, but it is ours. Let's work to make it better. #ghostthoughts

@ProjectHerkimer #makecheeraffordable... It shouldn't cost the equivalent of a car or mortgage payment to send your child to participate in #cheerleading. It's the mission of @UpWithCheerOrg (upwithcheer.org)

You are a FAKE organization, run by a for-profit company. You donate MILLIONS to NFHS. They push your courses because you PAY THEM to push it. Also, not sure why anyone should want to take a safety course from the people that brought us this 👇: usatoday.com/videos/news/in…

No USASF Cheer, we won't be renewing our membership, EVER. If we wanted to join a fake organization, we would pick another one like Acme Corporation. USASF is similar to Acme though. Acme's products worked out for Wile E. Coyote like USASF did for athletes that were preyed upon.

Varsity probably sold your information. To themselves & many others possibly. This should not be a surprise to anyone. National Cheer Parents Association @cheermads Maybe warn the parents to NOT do their own membership. Varsity has no need for everyone's personal info. They want it for #DataMining

We are getting closer to 1k followers. That can't make Varsity Brands very happy. 👻🎉 #ghostthoughts

IN SEARCH OF... Former Varsity, USASF, or USA Cheer employees with an AXE to GRIND. Our DM's are always open. #GhostThoughts

They can use our likeness on Mars, Venus, and Pluto. Jupiter is a NO. The moon is a hard NO. Saturn is right out. Where should they really send this waiver to??? Uranus. The rest of the whole universe should be off-limits for them & for athletes likenesses.

Or maybe forever? It's more anti-competitive behavior. By forcing camps on schools to attend a nationals, they are FORCING teams to spend MORE money with them that already want to spend SOME money with them. They removed competitors & are in bed w/ courtney ripple for legitimacy. FTC 👇👇

Ronda, let us know when you get an answer from them. We have been waiting on some too.

@ProjectHerkimer courtney ripple FTC Requiring camp attendance for competition entry is #paytoplay... #CheerTalent should drive completion entry! Definitely not a way to #makecheeraffordable. Help #PromoteCheer thru supporting programs that reduce costs & bring in new athletes to the sport.
