That is turning point, it's an opinion based site, and that is a mild description. 

I think the vaccine mandate is NFL based, so that would be all NFL cheerleaders/dancers that want to be on the field. I could not find a reference though stating that. The NFL has been pretty clear there will be penalities if games are canceled and revenue is lost due to any outbreaks. Tertiary staff like cheerleaders, TV crews, trainers, security etc. could all contribute to an outbreak on the field level, so I am sure most NFL teams are not taking chances. It's not just the Saints, or the DC.

Oh, I know -- I just laugh at how obvious their stance is. Just tell me how you really feel. 😂

See bullet point #3 (from the NFL Covid protocol issued on June 16th).

Man, that is a very one-sided article. Not saying it is right or wrong, just that you definitely know which side of the vax debate they are on (and it doesn't matter to me which side -- just that it's extremely one-sided).

I did laugh at this part:

"Jung could have given in. She could have allowed the Saints organization to dictate what to do with her body. Still, she stood her ground and decided it was her body and her choice, . . ."

I don't know if the Saintsations are anything like the DCC, but the DCC are all over dictating what the cheerleaders do with their body: weight, hair color/length/style, appearance/behaviour (to a certain extent) off the field, etc. Requiring a vaccine doesn't surprise me -- especially when they have so many others lining up for that same spot.

And she wasn't cut -- she chose to quit.

I agree. Incredible one-sided.

As if a person's freedom does not end where another person's freedom begins!

yeah - when I did a search on cheerleader vaccine and something recent (post this April) the Saints came up. I'm a little surprised there aren't others , unless the cheerleaders aren't allowed to say why they were cut/resigned - esp if it is regarding the vaccine.

The last day to get to the 53 man roster is coming up. I wonder are they cutting players for the same reason...

It does say the football side is being allowed exceptions, but it probably depends on how valuable the player is. 4th string = cut; starters = granted exceptions.

It is a business, plain & simple. Players get covid (or have to be quarantined due to exposure) = have to cancel games = lose big bucks. They want those bucks. If a vaccine offers any protection from that (real or imagined), they are going to push for the vaccine. Business 101. They don't give a hoot about bodily autonomy if it might affect their bottom line negatively.

hold up... on bullet #3... that means the DCC had to changed how they enter the field ? How many tunnels are there ? 

I remember a few seasons/episodes back where Kelly goes into a big " production" on when they enter the field- like the line up.  Rowdy is first, then the cheerleaders... then I thought the players were last.

So it’s been said that Alora Rose quitting is going to showed as a possible cut instead. Do we have any idea how Amanda’s leaving is going to be handled? Is this going to be a “she took someone’s spot” or a fake cry “we lost a teammate today” or an Erika and Amy Reese and she just disappears.

For the entrance for thunderstruck, the girls lineup in the end zones sideways next to the tunnel and in front of the end zone decks where they curved around to make the iconic entrance. Can be seen on the DCC IG story

Kelli: She took someone's spot

Me: Yeah and now a mediocre TCC can take her spot and become a one year wonder. 

(BTW I am not saying that the TCC's are mediocre, I just hate when Kelli pulls that card. Like I get it but I don't like it)

ok.  I might need to see it , as I am still a little confused. Or have forgotten.  Wouldn't they have to go through the tunnel to get to the end zone, to line up sideways ? I'm looking at the exit sign in the picture.

Do they still do the player entrance line up - making 2 lines with the players running out in-between and they have different arm positions while shaking the poms ?

I hope VK make it back if she trying out again. I like her for the most part based on 13 and 14. I know most of y'all dislike her. I understand that she took a year off for personal reasons, but I think she'll be fine. I'm also cool with wherever she goes in the triangle if she does make it back. Can't imagine she's going up too far. I don't know how it works though.

I don't dislike her but do roll my eyes at the the obvious preferential treatment and fake fawning.

Dani looking like Sydney to me - that wasn't a slam at all. Dani is gorgeous and looks naturally pretty, not fake or overdone at all.

I have gathered this today from different posts and stories (I have no idea about the rookies, other then Ashlinn and Kelee, so if anyone knows exactly please feel free to correct me!)

Group 1: Lexie, Ashlee, Chandi, Marissa, Ellie, Jessica (Possible rookies: Tyra, Christina, Jensen)

Group 2: Gina, Erin, Claire, Madeline, Armani, Ashlinn, Kelee (possible Rookies: Megan Kaydianna)

Group 3: Rachel, Amber, Kristin, McKenzie, Darian, Dani (Possible Rookies: Kleine, Lea, Amber)

Group 4: Caroline, Jalyn, Kelcey, Taylor, Kat, Jada (Possible Rookies: Madeline, Tori, Rebecca) 

All vet's should be correct based on post's from the last 2 day's!

Thank you!! Where did you see Jessica in G1?

[dccfan204]

Who completed the triangle in each group? I know Chandi for group 1.

Group 2: probably Claire? or maybe Madeline

Group 3: probably Mackenzie?

Group 4: probably Kelcey? Or maybe Taylor

She posted a comment on Lexie's picture stating "that's my Group Leader." I also think I saw her in one of the video's from last night.

I believe it's how I have it:

Group 2- Gina, Erin & Claire (I thought Claire was in Group 4, but it looks like they moved her.  I couldn't figure out who was in video's next to Erin and Gina and the only person it could be is Claire.)

Group 3- Rachel, Amber & Kristin (I was surprised by this, but not mad about it).

Group 4- Caroline, Jayln and I assume Kelcey?  The DCC recently posted a video of this group and Taylor was on the end with Jalyn standing next to her, so I'm assuming, she is behind Jalyn.

Speaking for myself, I didn't take it as a slam.  Just didn't see the similarity.  But it's not the first time someone here saw a similarity I didn't.  I liken it to the way we all have ladies we like and some not so much.  It's all good.

They have been going through the other tunnel. And yes they are still doing the lines but in a different location.

She's been a Game Day Girl once every year, except her rookie year...  I'm not going to say "never" because I don't know for sure, but "typically" they don't choose a rookie for GDG.

A bit like Bubbles Cash, who the DCC were modeled after.

And, Taylor. For the love, she needs to retire already. 

On 8/20/2021 at 8:19 PM, MadHatter said:

I feel like if Rachel retires, it'll likely be her choice. K&J have always mentioned how strikingly beautiful she is, and they make a point at least once every season to say she's great at some dance or a certain style looks good on her. However, I'm sure she knows she's at the top of her game. She's been point two years in a row. She's a group leader. She's been on show group. What more is there for her with the Cowboys? She's had everything the team can offer, in my opinion. I wouldn't be surprised to see her gracefully move on after this season.

Probowl. She hasn't gotten Probowl yet.

That entire set of photos has some very unfortunate "moment in time" shots of various DCC. Someone either was not a great action photographer and/or someone was a bit sloppy in selecting photos. 

Forum members here could do a much better job with selection, IMO.

Now Miss Kleine is way too beautiful for what they did to her hair 🤔 That blonde does not compliment her skin tone. They really should’ve given her a rich brunette shade or some in between. They need to do better.

Regarding Kleine, she's a natural brunette... has had her hair highlighted for a few years now.  She and some friends did a big road trip after graduation where they ended up in Hawaii and she was super blonde then.  Her mom and dad are both dark brown and so are her siblings.  She would so rock a deep rich brunette 🤗

Taylor is next to her (they're the tallest girls so they split the 50) but I'm sure someone has already pointed this out.. I just didn't feel like scrolling... and yes... Jada has the best kicks on the team... the only ones who could be better than her kicks are Lacey and Holly P.

I know! They post the worst shots of these beautiful women. I feel for them sometimes when I see the weird expressions/angles that they catch then choose to publish. 

[mizzhyer]

My opinions...1.  Amber...she's a great technical dancer for sure, but I am not as enthralled with her as a lot of people are.  2.  I'm not a fan of Madeline S. there is something about her that just doesn't jive with me.  3.  Dani is much prettier than Rachel W... she's the prettiest one on the team imo.  Next to Dani, Rachel looks more plastic than ever and should avoid being in pictures with her because Dani outshines her by miles.   4.  Lexie has never stood out to me other than her too yellow hair and too tan look.  5.  I agree about Kristin looking tired (she always does but I think it's makeup) and I agree that if Kelli had truly wanted her gone, she would be.  6.  Gina...she does look too thin...if she does have a body image disorder or an eating disorder, then I hope she's able to get the help she needs.  I am not going to say yay or nay on whether I think she has either, bc I don't know her or her eating habits, but she could stand to put a few pounds on. (I will gladly donate some of mine). I think these girls work hard to make and stay on this team, and I applaud all of them... even if some of them aren't my cup of tea.  Regarding the rookies... this is a very strong class and I look forward to seeing game day videos and pictures 🤗

I feel like at certain angles any of them, except Gina, can look thicker than they actually are, just depends on how they are standing, bending, etc.  I’m sure the constant body remarks are part of what makes their job harder than it should be…
