Can’t help but think VK actually was ok with that happening....  could totally see her using it as a “look at meeeee” kind of thing”. She hides her embarrassment well

I'd love to see Elli in a group with Chandi. I can't wait to see how Elli dances and how she looks in the uniform. I can't help but feel those two would complement each other very well!

I feel bad for all the girls that retired at the end of last season. They are obviously told not to post about it and the DCC don't post it on their socials either ,as they want to show it on the show but with no show this year, it's just like they've been forgotten... 

Everyone knew Amy was retiring at the end of the year, same with Heather we knew she was and as someone said Amy, Christina etc announced it on their instagrams but yeah it will be sad if they don’t show where they officially announce their retirements to the team

Maybe next year we'll see a full representation of WOC to include not only black women, but also Asian, Hispanic, Native American, etc

@Weeklydcc

 

My question was in response to this statement. Do you think the Cowboys football team should also have Asian, Hispanic, Native American, etc.

I never mentioned whites people. What are you implying my “drift” is? Explain it to me.

@Weeklydcc
 

The NFL is 70% black. Should the cheer/dance squads on the sidelines also be 70% black to mirror the teams? Should the racial makeup of the spirit squads be in proportion to the US 2020 census? Should the NFL teams?

What is your solution? Are Hispanics, Asians, and Native Americans adequately represented in by the Cowboys football team? I am assuming your position is those groups are not adequately represented on the DCC roster. 
 

Again, what is your solution?

It is about the viewers, not the players. No one pays to be on a NFL team, only the players get paid to be on a NFL team. The viewers/expectators/fans pay to see the game.

The representation makes only sense from this perpective.

Also, hispanics , asians and native americans are on the DCC squad. Alanna, Rachel and Lisa are on the team, aren’t they?

Also, asians and native americans are ethnic qualifications, the term hispanics is not.

Sorry.  Not even close.  She's actually one of the WEAKEST dancers on the squad to me.  She seems to be consistently messing SOMETHING up (turns, counts, etc.) and being put in prominent places only highlights those mistakes as well as that she's not quite at the level as most of the rest of the squad technique-wise.  Granted, everyone makes mistakes, but usually consistent mistakes get a girl cut from the DCC or Training Camp.  At least, unless she's Victoria.  See Breelan, Morgan, Meredith, or any number of other girls.

If both the spirit squad and the football team are paid to entertain the viewers, then why should there be a distinction?

Also, I used the previous poster’s terms. I have read posts about cheerleaders “passing for white”. Does Rachel Wyatt qualify as “passing for white” or is she considered “Asian”? How do you even determine that?

That is as subjective to me personally as some of Kelli’s feedback to the training camp candidates.

There was no danger of her not returning. It’s not like she has anything else going on. Plus, Broadway is closed. 😉

I just don't get it.  For someone who obviously lacks (technique and taking criticism) friends on the squad, besides brown-noser Lisa, why be around people who don't like you?  They tolerate you to keep their position.  Sad, really.

I think you're right it was Ally Traylor bc I remember thinking wow, neither of them would make the squad these days, well they would bc of who Cassie is but you know what i mean...

So why i thought of this running this morning I don't know but Ally Traylor and Cassie were the ones that were nasty to Taylor during rehearsal. Cassie & Mia were the judgy, snotty ones when the TCC went to the other dance studio prior to rehearsal for their feedback with the DCC Alum...

I did not define the groups mentioned.

Rachel Wyatt is a living proof of the highly subjective concept of groups or even race. The 'passing for white' phrase is really the proof of the intellectual bankruptcy of this way of thinking. Don't you think?

Hey everyone! New to the group, been following for a while, and finally decided to join. I reached out to some Dallas news affiliates about the wrongdoing with Hannah, because we all know she was released over voicing concerns over Covid, not on ability, and that is just so wrong on every level. I also mentioned the situation with Brennan, and how wrong that was with her having had covid twice, and instead of treating her like the survivor shes is, she was let go. Welllll, one of them just got back with me, and is now wanting to speak with me, and I am thrilled they are interested, and that an award winning, investigative journalist is seeing this situation as something worthy of looking into, and is going to put her time in to finding out more , but at the same time I am kind of nervous. I had honestly just pointed her in the direction of speaking to Hannah, since her IG post is pretty telling, so I wasn't thinking she would need or want to speak with me. I was straight forward with the fact that I'm not like working with the DCC or even in Texas for that matter, and that all of my info is coming from soc media. Anyway, the reason I am posting is, if you can think of points I should make sure I touch on, I would love and value that input. Also, if whoever is that person who was the one with all the info would like for me to pass their name along, I am more than willing. If you don't want to post on here I will more than gladly give you an email address to reach me at, if that's allowed on here. Hopefully we can raise some awareness to this situation.

No, I agree. I know they won't do anything without proof, and i totally understand that. I didn't know Hannah didn't want to speak out. I thought possibly with her IG post she would talk if approached, but I understand. Just thought it was worth a shot.

She is probably bound by NDC agreements -- especially before the show airs. And even after it airs, she is probably still limited as to what she can & cannot say.

How dare you?!?!? Sacrilege!!!! Victoria is perfection -- obviously the other 35 are messing up. As for the traveling, falling out of turns, low kicks, etc. -- those aren't bad technique/form -- they're new dance moves. They will be named after her (the Victoria, the Kalina, the Vic, etc.) & soon everyone will be doing them. Just you wait and see. Not only is she the best dancer on the team, she's a trendsetter too! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

What this pictures tells me is that the placement of the girls really determines their chances of voluntarily or involuntarily departure. If Jalyn or Alanna are not more upfront this year I will fear for them next year.

Don't think so because as long as CMT can proof they are having the needed adjustments, which they have otherwise they would be allowed to make a show, nothing will happen and Hannahs post can be taken in as a girl that is salty because she didn't make the team basically

The Texas Whistleblower Act protects public employees who suffer an adverse employment action for reporting illegal activity by a public (i.e., governmental) employer or public official to an appropriate law enforcement agency. What happened to Hannah and Brennan sucks on a number of levels, but it doesn’t trigger legal protections for whistleblowers because the state law doesn’t apply in private employment situations and there are no federal laws directly on point.

It might have become a PR problem for the DCC/Cowboys organization if Hannah or Brennan had gone to the press and alleged that they were cut either due to having had COVID-19 or voicing concerns about the organization’s compliance (or alleged lack thereof) with protocols, but they’re probably covered by NDAs and/or don’t want to see their names dragged through the mud as a couple of poor sports who are unhappy about being cut.  
 

Signed, a huge fan of Hannah’s who also happens to be a lawyer and is still spitting mad about her cut.  I mean seriously, scroll back up a few posts, look at that screenshot, and then tell me with a straight face that she wasn’t in the top 36 girls who auditioned.  Watch the “Fat Bottomed Girls” performance with Queen and tell me with a straight face that her pom technique isn’t strong enough to be on the team.  If I rolled my eyes any harder, they’d fall out.

[Kate2006]

I don’t post very much but a few pages ago there was talk about Cassie calling out one of the TCC During rehearsal for not practicing and someone asked what season that was. I just watched it and it’s season 6 episode 6. That was a crazy season. They had Ika and all her beer pics, and Kaitlin LeGrand acting all weird about why she missed practice. Was she on something? Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t she get arrested a few years later for shoplifting, possession of meth paraphernalia and marijuana? 
 

I think it was in this thread because we were relating Cassie correcting a TCC to Brennan correcting VK in private. Cassie didn’t get cut but Brennan did.

I actually am a journalist. The media has been trying to figure this out, especially the COVID aspect. The Cowboys organization refuses to comment, and so does everyone involved. Probably NDAs in some instances, but unless someone speaks out or files a lawsuit our hands are basically tied. The contract says they can be cut for basically any reason, so until someone involved legally alleges whistleblower violations there’s nothing we can do. Maybe a group like TMZ, which will report allegations that aren’t necessarily confirmed, would be interested.

Hi!  I’m a DCC fan and new to this group. 

My DCC accolades include:

• Getting kicked out of a DCC Facebook group multiple times and then successfully joining this same DCC group hours later. 
• A certain admin that rhymes with “JACIE” needs to start a Maddie ONLY or Victoria ONLY fan page – because she clearly is so far up their asses.
• Getting corrected/schooled by a former DCC – Meredith, not Magic Meredith – because apparently I invented Wikipedia and the poor girl doesn’t realize anyone can update that.  I tried convincing her The Easter Bunny was partying on the calendar shoot and not asked back for her veteran season – but she didn’t respond.
• In the DCC FB group, I asked a makeover hair question that involved color and "JACIE" tagged Marshall who responded with a hard "NO"  - oh Marshall and "Jacie", "Bless your colorless heart.."

Some DCC observations:

• Cassie & VK are both women that have “peaked in high school”
• Holly P. never needed DCC – she is way too talented. 
• Lisa looks like she is participating in a “Tough Mudder” race 24/7
• If I have to hear the phrase “empty my bucket” ever again – I will puke.
• Finally – If you say, “I have no words” – than honor that and SHUT UP!

Pretty sure I was kicked out of the same group or blocked or something. One day I was in it and the next day it was gone. Oh well...
