I really think that people need to focus on their teams, to talk trash about others is just wrong, you are not in their gym, you don't know what really goes on.
The people who talk the most trash are the most insecure! People that are confident usually let the season speak for themselves. There must be a lot of worried people out there!!!
I think another reason a lot of people talk trash is that as we are constantly reminded of, all star cheer is a business. Bringing down one business means possibly boosting another. I always keep that in mind when someone anonymously comes on here and trashes another gym, especially if it's in the same area, which is why I don't believe any of the negativity I read on this board.
Its all a tactic they say that teams sucks blah blah blah and that girl isnt cheering. When all they really wanna know is I wonder how good they are and whose on thier teams. So they can feel better about thier fake litle gym. But the worst part is sometimes people actully answer we have this and this in our routines and this person. So in the end they get thier answer and make everyone just a little bit dumber.
