I don't think it would be a case of walking out so much as choosing not to attend. Having said that, I'm sure there are plenty of things they're expected to go along with and not make a fuss. For example, if you believe in only using cruelty free make-up, but the team's makeup sponsor tests on animals. Or if you're a strict vegan who doesn't wear leather. You'd better wear that makeup and put on those Lucchese boots or you'd be bounced out of training camp week #1! If it was something like the team camping trip and a girl got there and realized they were going to be deer hunting (haven't they done something like that) the pressure to go along with it would be immense. On a related note - didn't they used to have a makeup sponsor? I don't see one on the website, but it would be crazy if they didn't have one. I know MAC used to sponsor a lot of teams. I don't know if they still do. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/63273-current-squad-2017-2018-media-music-videos-show-group/page/159/#findComment-4092975

The reason i thought they might have been force of the from the five of the of seven(Amy,Steph,Chantel,Kelsey,Lexi,Kashara and some else i forget) that attended have pets some of them have multiple pets.So i would have a hard time believing that animal lover would attended something like this voluntarily but other than Chantel all of them are from the south or middle America so maybe that's normal to them.

I really wanna know your opinions. I don’t think rodeos are horrible or cruel. Maybe I’m just used to being around animals, but animals have to been ‘broken’ before you can do anything with them. It has to been done properly or riders will get hurt. A rodeo is just an extension of the formal taming of an animal. If they were beating the animal or something like that, it would be different. I love to watch them personally. 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/63273-current-squad-2017-2018-media-music-videos-show-group/page/159/#findComment-4093239

If this was a required event, Im sure that they could decline to attend, but I also wouldn't be surprised if declining hurt their standing on the team or even resulted in termination. I also think that being forced to participate in religions events/prayers (if that has occurred) and being forced to attend a rodeo (if that is what happened) are different. They may both be genuinely abhorrent to the cheerleader, but one is potentially unlawful, the other is not. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/63273-current-squad-2017-2018-media-music-videos-show-group/page/159/#findComment-4093251

It's a whole different world there, in so many ways - I grew up in Michigan but my father and my mother's parents all grew up in Oklahoma. I visited often, but I never understood how different things were there until I went down and lived with my dad for a year in undergrad. There seems to be a really strong viewpoint about animals and their purpose unique to the region. For instance, I was a vegetarian when I went down, and it was virtually impossible to go out to eat. Even shopping was difficult at the time, and anytime I had dinner in company I could expect many, many comments, generally along the lines of "....but....bacon!" A lady who owned and worked with cattle told me that I wouldn't worry about killing a cow for food if I knew what assholes they were. Animals are tools and commodities there in a way that doesn't seem to have a parallel in other places I've been. Rodeos are usually seen as both practical and a lot of fun, rather than venues for animal cruelty. The idea that they could be cruel seems odd to many people there - essentially along the lines of "they are farm animals, that's what they're for." 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/63273-current-squad-2017-2018-media-music-videos-show-group/page/159/#findComment-4093541
bigskygirl February 26, 2018 Share February 26, 2018 I do not think Kelli, Charlotte and Judy are forcing these girls to preform at certain activities like rodeos, or pray before heading out on the field to perform. These girls know the score and what is or what is not expected of them. If they do not like doing said performances then they should not be trying out for the team.

sleepyjean February 26, 2018 Author Share February 26, 2018 (edited) I don't know how they assign people to appearances, but it seems unlikely that Kelli just assigns people, because not everyone will be available for every event. There has to be some process of figuring who is available, who gets dibs (if its a highly coveted appearance), trying to spread the opportunities out evenly so it's not the same girls doing all of them, some consideration for having a variety of looks so they don't send a bunch of girls who all look alike. Within that scheduling process, there may be some room for personal preferences. They may even ask for volunteers, as opposed to appointing specific people. And given that it's near the end of the season, there may be even more consideration for the types of things people want or don't want to do. (I could be making that up, but I could see Kelli being more accommodating of rookies at the end of year, than at the beginning of the season when they have not proved themselves and probably don't have anything to say about anything other than "yes ma'am.") Actually I'd hate that job - organizing 36 girls and all their schedules and preferences and whatnot.

Apparently some horse rodeo thing was happening at At &T stadium and almost of the girls were invited and attended. To me it's Animal cruelty but I am not from the south so I don't understand rodeos. But it made me feel so uncomfortable and i felt that she's girls that almost all off them has a dogs and yet they were super cool about attending this horrible thing. I couldn't even watch the 5 sec insta story. And it reminded me of that time a couple seasons when the Had a DCC event when they had a hog hunt event. Can girls say no to stuff like that if i doesn't match their beliefs. Like it they are anti-guns or they animals lover or even the thing we discussed a couple of months of ago where Kelli brought her priest, Can someone just walk out of that? I really wanna know your opinions. I’m a Texan and I think most people here in Texas would be surprised at your feelings. You are ? entitled to your feelings, but rodeos aren’t a shocker down here. Theyre big money, big marketing, big socializing and networking and even pave the way for scholarships to college. Most kids outside the metro areas rodeo or know people who rodeo. We have six horses and grew up riding. Rodeoing is part of life here. I disagree with whoever said cows are assholes. They are actually very docile. But they’re also very stupid. Horses are intelligent and could be compared to dogs, but cows, steers and bulls are more basic animals. It doesn’t make it right to mistreat them, but as far as I’ve ever known, animal abuse isn’t part of the rodeo scene. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/63273-current-squad-2017-2018-media-music-videos-show-group/page/159/#findComment-4096950

Katherine1904 February 28, 2018 Share February 28, 2018 This isn't the first time I've noticed it but how has KaShara not been pulled up time after time about her low kicks?! If you watch the video DCC just uploaded to Facebook of their Tuesday technique class her kicks are much lower than the other girls, and her fan kicks are not fan kicks at all. How has she got to three years without being called out for this?! This isn't a one off either, at the Hall of Fame game her kicks were very low, the same as on multiple appearances both regular team and show group 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/63273-current-squad-2017-2018-media-music-videos-show-group/page/159/#findComment-4100846
Jess14 February 28, 2018 Share February 28, 2018 I haven’t noticed her kicks being low, but it’s possible that she has been called out for that, and it just has not made it on to the show. I think a poster stated in the summer that she’s had weight warnings multiple times, and we haven’t seen that. Hannah and Angela also did, but we only heard about it in passing on the show. So, unless there is a major issue with a veteran, I think it’s is unlikely to get aired because 1) the show focuses on the rookies and 2) it only goes to the start of the season. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/63273-current-squad-2017-2018-media-music-videos-show-group/page/159/#findComment-4101200

I didn’t mean why hasn’t she been called out on the show, I meant if a girl has bad kicks for 3 years why are they still on the team and not being cut, like the multiple girls who are each year for kicks? 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/63273-current-squad-2017-2018-media-music-videos-show-group/page/159/#findComment-4101451

Well she's not the only one with low(er) kicks & they had (still do) way too many girls with weight issues and/or lacking technical ability. They would need to kick out half of the current team before even getting to Kashara. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/63273-current-squad-2017-2018-media-music-videos-show-group/page/159/#findComment-4101508
bigskygirl February 28, 2018 Share February 28, 2018 Vets who are blenders, five or more pounds over their audition weight, break the rules or had bad kicks are kept on the team for various reasons. Some may be favorites of Kelli, Judy or Charlotte, less vets with three or more years in especially the last few years, not enough decent rookies, or plain ole male appeal or the majority of the fans like the girl. They can go on and on with their only the best girls make the team, but we all know that is not true.

Jess14 February 28, 2018 Share February 28, 2018 Yeah, I think the answer is that K&J think Kashara’s good qualities outweigh low-ish kicks or periodic weight issues, assuming they think that those are problem areas for her. As mentioned earlier, lots of girls on the team fall short of the ideal in some aspect or another and make it back year after year. So while I absolutely think Kashara is a a Kelli favorite who could get away with things that other girls couldn’t, I think they overlook issues with many girls on the team. It’s not something isolated to her. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/63273-current-squad-2017-2018-media-music-videos-show-group/page/159/#findComment-4101637

Ashley Nicole had some of the worst kicks EVER...like I remember even as a 3 year vet they were just bad and they still loved her and i'm pretty sure she was show group (i know she went to oxnard and a lot of events anyway). 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/63273-current-squad-2017-2018-media-music-videos-show-group/page/159/#findComment-4101660
