First, thanks, Second, I do not think that VK will be "point" next year. VK is a strong performer, however there are vets who have more experience and are just as strong who will get preference. I would consider Maddie and Gina as 1 and 2 for that position.

OMG!!! I accidentally typed TK not VK!! It was supposed to be VK.

I trust my sources and you could ask the same question of the person who posts comments about "how the rest of the team feel". There is on way to know who is being truthful or who might have a hidden agenda. Each reader needs to decide what they believe. I would just question when someone only posts negative stuff about a specific person on the team. I at least have tried to comment on a variety of topics and will continue to try and do that. As I have noted, this is not what my sources are saying. It seems that you only receive negative information about VK. None of the other 36 create problems, have issues or have disagreements? I think you sources are over blowing the situation because they know you will post here.

Ok so let me clarify: TK was asked if she was willing to switch on short notice and said yes if needed. However the decision to switch was with Judy and Kelli. There is a difference is being ask about switching and actually making the decision. I will be more specific in the future if needed. My inside sources says this is not correct information.

So if you look at the very end of this with about 2 seconds of Gina, she is not using crutches her ACL injury maybe less serious than others. Recovery if you do not need a graft is much less time than if you need a graft or have torn more than 1 ligament. Weight bearing after the injury usually indicates an incomplete tear. So perhaps a grain of hope for a difficult injury. Also just an FYI, women tend to suffer more Ligament injuries when on their menstrual cycle. Hormones cause joints to be looser than normal. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5524267/

The point is that Body Dissatisfaction issues are increased by negative or even positive social media posts related to a person's body. There was a recent post on here about VK "hitting the feedbag" with no evidence of any change in her body.

Was just going to post this. Ok, hard to tell because there are posts of 2 "Thunderstruck" one in the traditional outfit and one in the Christmas outfit.

This was Thunderstruck from last week not the "Christmas" game and she was not in that position this week. So either TPTB changed the positions because VK had an error or the change was already planned. However, VK had no control over where she was placed in the Triangle. Also timing is part muscle memory and counting. I agree that putting any rookie in that position was a risk. Finally, this was such an egregious error that it took eagle eyes over 14 days to identify the error.

I actually think that each of the 37 made it "about them" because each story is based on something close to them. I think helping young women deal with body image is a huge issue. "When a person has negative thoughts and feelings about his or her own body, body dissatisfaction can develop. Body dissatisfaction is an internal process but can be influenced by several external factors. ... One of the most common external contributors to body dissatisfaction is the media, and more recently social media." This is a serious issue. The issue is not "about her" but because of what she experienced. this board is an example of social media and body dissatisfaction. VK is not the only of the 37 whose body has endlessly been commented on in discussions on this and other sites. This is so true about the DCC. I have issues with the concept of a person being on the team from 18 to age 22/23 and having to keep the same weight for 5 years and the same uniform. However a person who joins at 23 and cheers till 26 has a different more mature body and less stress to keep the "same body". I also think they should get a new uniform every year.

SUDC is simply tragic and is truly "unexplained". We do not know why some children go to sleep and never wake up. The human body is so complex and unique. Having done peds care for 30+ years, it still daggers my heart to lose a child. I remember each child and they have changed me as a care provider.

However there is zero proof that this even happened with the "feedback". Negative comments about VK have been appearing on this site since Jan 2018 or so when VK was still a HS Senior before she first ever tried out. Again the "phone case" story is unproven and there is disagreement about the truth of that. This board has been VK negative for over 2 years, all about a now 19 woman on a dance team.

I watched and read what you have posted. So look at you list and the focus. Very little of the above comments are "proven" but based on about 30 minutes out of some 1000 hours of an edited TV program.

Yes, I will be glad to do that. I do like watching her more this year then last year. She seems "softer" this year.

Reasonable question: So last year, with VK, I was like whatever, posters were saying that she was "assured a spot" etc, however as was shown VK was not DCC material in 2018. So this year, the posts have become outrageous and IMHO, over the top. So when this story came up about "phone gate", I went to my sources and ask and they requested that I not respond. However as the posts continued to escalate in nature, I went back and ask permission to respond. I had considered responding when the posts about "mental health" disorders were being posted and probably should have. However being new does not invalidate my information, I do understand your questioning the suddenness of my arrival.

Since it is against the rules to attempt to identify poster here, I suggest caution. However I am not Tina or VK and do not work for the Cowboys organization or even live in or have lived in the Dallas area. However, I do have friends who are connected to or work for the Cowboys. I have not posted before because I was ask not to. However, I went to my connections and begged to be allowed to post about the phone case story. That is what it is a story and a fiction story at that. I am going to start posting more and becoming more active, I have been a fan of the Cowboys and DCC for about 40 years. Yes RIGHT!!! I am new and I have sources. I just always respected the information that was shared with me, however this story (fiction) led me to ask for permission to share the truth. My source was ok with ignoring and not responding, I was the one that ask to respond. My sources says the phone case story is fake.
