Cowboysfan16 August 3, 2017 Share August 3, 2017 Since this is all speculation right now & told from an insider, of course Shelly isn't going to come on here and give us the scoop. I mean seriously? ?Plus we've received little to no spoilers at all this season. It wouldn't really make sense for a small fan base to know before something is posted publicly confirming this allegation. I think it can be agreed that two rather highly visible and important vets did not attend the HOF trip and that itself is a big deal. 4 Link to comment

I don't think anything will be shown, especially tonight. This is making the team and follows the process. Whatever happened with Holly and Jenna may not come up at all on the series. Short of announcing the team (which may have already be done for all the info we have) the series is done for the year. Link to comment

I would think she'd be up for trying it again - it's a great show, more tv time, and has led to paid dance jobs for quite a few of the contestants. Seems like her wheelhouse, honestly. She probably just needed to mature and gain some polish from when she had tried out before. I thought she was adorable when she tried out for DCC, but her look has grown up a lot. 31 minutes ago, Dccfan126 said: It will never not be hysterical to me that this organization dishes out harsher punishments for cheerleaders who go to bars and listen to rap music than it does the actual criminals it sends out on the field to play. That's all about revenue. I don't like some of the shady players the Cowboys bring, but they have a very unique skill set to offer. Wins means more dollars for Jerry. A RB isn't interchangeable the way a dancer is, you know? Either way, this whole thing has escalated VERY quickly based on two gals not being shown in a picture. 3 Link to comment

Especially during camp, I wouldn't be surprised if we find things faster than they do. It's just a matter of resources and priority. I could be totally wrong, but making assumptions based off the social media teams we've had at the major retailers I've worked at...it's surprising how little resources are used to be proactive vs. reactive.

And yet, probation for them and an almost-immediate dismissal for "the fatty." Yes, Chelsea needed to be made aware that her conduct was not a joking matter. But surely probation should have come before dismissal. IIRC she wasn't dismissed that night. K&J brought her in to talk to her. Then they focused on her poor dancing for a while and THEN let her go. It may have all happened in 1 episode, but it was over a short period of time and you don't always know how much time lapses on the show. 2 Link to comment

I've never once posted b/c I only discovered this board recently, but after reading so many comments about, what is now strictly gossip regarding Holly, I feel so sick to my stomach. I have never ever met any of the cheerleaders. In fact, in most professional dance circles, the DCC are a step above Hooters waitresses. That's not to say there are not talented dancers. The last few years with some amazing technically talented dancers, such as Holly, Jacie, and Melissa, and hiring well-regarded choreographers, have improved the reputation a bit. But whatever the drama or gossip or truth may be, everyone is literally saying that Holly should know better; that she deserves to made an example of; that she knows what's in her contract. Here were are basically watching the leadership of a cheerleading team tell a 20 year old woman, who is probably very impressionable still, that her value is far less than any man in the organization. This is a team that consistently shows that a woman's consent isn't important (I'm looking at you EE) nor is their own safety from domestic abuse (looking at you Greg Hardy). That a man's talent is far more important than a lowly cheerleader. While it's no doubt that the players are what makes $ for the Cowboys, apparently, the DCC are valued several millions of dollars, and are "America's Sweethearts". Yet we are still treating these women like they should "expect what they get" a la some kind of playboy bunny waitress. So were are sitting here, condemning a young woman while forgiving every man in this organization should he do something horrible to another woman. So Kelly sits there and says "be smart. Go to school. Be a professional." But she is saying be that, just make sure you know your place. I for one hope she just quit. Go to NYC, Holly. Go to LA, Holly. Work your ass of, be humble, and respect your fellow dancers and choreographers. Be on time most of all. Seek community outside an organization that values YOU.

DFWBelle August 3, 2017 Share August 3, 2017 I am also hearing Holly is for sure out. The DCC standard for getting kicked to the curb is a lot lower than a Cowboy player's... "getting arrested and criminally charged" as someone mentioned. People get the boot for being late to practices, party pictures, fraternizing with players, other things. Holly and Jenna had strikes last year for dating players. The pictures from a couple weekends back were of Holly in a 21 and up bar when she is 20...illegal. She is recognized as a DCC. This is reminiscent of Caila getting cut a few seasons back after her second season. She had gained weight and was also partying in Uptown in 21+ bars at age 20, plenty of picture evidence. It is not tolerated period. Jenna is a 6 year girl who is of age hence the wrist slap. 3 Link to comment

Not sure about the whole "taking her top down" thing though) Yes, he pulled a woman's top down. Not to say said woman didn't do it herself, but the point is he has repeatedly put himself in positions of taking advantage of women. In regards to pictures of her at a club, what freak is stalking cheerleaders at some club? Shouldn't they be more concerned with some stalker, than punishing a 20 year old woman who is probably still star-struck around the players and wants to be a part of that? Wasn't there a cheerleader who actually dated/still does a player the whole time she was a cheerleaders? Maybe she needed to be punished, but this is still a young woman part of a major organization, being told she must be held to a higher standard than any other player in the organization, including if he may seriously hurt another person. Their standards aren't about a dance team/company. They are solely about an image. Again, the point here is that strong women in powerful leadership positions (I'm looking at you Shelly, Kelly, Judy) are still telling women to be some kind of submissive male fantasy more than a professional dancer.

Apples and oranges what's expected from the Cowboys and the cheerleaders, in regards to contracts, job duties, expectations. I danced for a long time, too, and the college revenue sport or especially pro NFL player's talent IS more valuable than a cheerleader's. Maybe not theoretically if we're strictly artistically speaking, definitely not if we're comparing a human life to a human life. But we're not. This is about being hired for a job, and breaking a contract she signed. (BTW college revenue = football, men's basketball, stuff that brings in donors and sells tickets = more important than any other sport, no matter what the talent level or contribution to society). DCC willingly agree to not fraternize with players, not be seen without makeup, not drinking/doing drugs, etc. The players don't have to agree to any of that. If she does those things, she SHOULD "expect what [she] gets" in regards to being fired. She wasn't physically abused or sexually assaulted, she chose to drink in bars with players after she agreed not to. She broke the law and she broke her contract. I'm not slut shaming her or saying she can't show any interest in men. I am saying, that according to the rules she chose, she was required to steer clear of a few dozen men who are Dallas Cowboys football players. She chose not to do that. The guys don't sign that contract, their duties are not the same, and they don't have the same job expectations. Maybe they should be required to steer clear of the cheerleaders. Now if we had a male DCC and a female DCC, who both broke the same rules, and one was punished and not the other, then I'd agree that it isn't fair, moral, or legal. If she was punished for dating someone totally unrelated to the DCB, that's not right either. But that's not what happened. Now as for the guys who mistreat women, animals, whatever, they should absolutely be held accountable for their actions. Fire them. Prosecute them. Don't let them get away with abuse of any sort. This abuse if far worse than a college kid drinking in a bar with a football player, and it's horrible that it isn't punished harshly. But Holly's breaking rules, as stupid as those rules are, just isn't comparable. Bottom line = NOBODY IS EVER AS IMPORTANT AS THE PLAYERS WHO BRING IN THE $$$, and even they are treated like cattle. Kobi beef vs a plain brown heifer, but still cattle. I also agree that Holly needs to move on where she's appreciated and isn't treated like a child. Maybe she'll pay closer attention to her next contract. ETA: We don't even know 100% for sure Holly quit, why she may have quit, if she was cut, etc. Girl could have had a come to Jesus moment and decided to be a nun, got pregnant, got a Broadway job, ANYTHING. Maybe all three at the same time. Can she sing? Sister Act, Sound of Music, Nunsense costumes could hide a bump for a long time. Or, she could still be on the team. I need to simmer down.
