What is going on here? Has America completely lost the plot? How is this in any way justifiable?

I'm not sure of the veracity of this report, but I will say that the way athletes, cheerleaders, dancers, children and yes, even employees, are treated by those who are charged with their supervision-whether its parents, teachers, coaches, instructors or whatever the case may be, are abusive, and its not limited to the United States, its a worldwide issue of the vulnerable being preyed upon...of competition being pushed, sometimes to the extreme. We spend insane money on weapons and buildings, but sometimes are very careless in the care and attention and resources we allocate to developing and helping people.

It isnt and thast why loads have been suspended plus there are several investigations. I expect the coach is not qualified to do this, but its a practice born out of the competitive nature of cheerleading. there should be a safer gradual method of being able to do it. Looks quite dangerous imo.

I have no concerns about the authenticity of the report. Its obviously real.
