A Game Of Telephone

    





     As the 2012 cheerleading season comes to an end, the 2013 cheer season begins! Cheerleaders all over the world are going through the tryout process. All Star gyms are now having tryouts to establish their teams for the 2013 cheer season.
     Yes, there are cheerleading teams all over the world, but it's a small world after all...believe it or not. Many cheerleaders use twitter and instagram to connect with eachother, and find out the scoop of the other gyms. This has also established long distance relationships and friendships between fellow cheerleaders.
     Now that everyone from gyms across the world are communicating, no secret can be kept a secret anymore. For example, Cheer Athletics from Dallas, Texas just had their tryouts for the upcoming season. Everyone was interested to see what teams they would have, get rid of, and keep. The cheerleaders of Cheer Athletics lives became public, whether they wanted it to or not. How they did at tryouts or what skills they threw at tryouts where on everyones timeline on twitter and suddenly became everyones business.
     Every cheerleader knows that the latest cheer scoop will be on the fierce board. Every team now has no privacy because everyone else knows their business. Yes, communication can be both good and bad, but we live in a dangerous world so the more privacy the better in my opinion. It's great all of these cheerleaders have come together because they all share a common passion, but it has gone a little too far.

  1. This post is so true! I also have a few friends from other gyms and have reconnected with them through social media. I do not think cheerleaders should post on twitter about tryouts because they can be bragging about what skills they threw, which can give them a bad reputation.
