re: Remove

Honestly, everything that went down and the drama behind Sami’s former team being u invited from performing back at a UGA meet really threw me. I listened to a podcast in which CKC was asked specifically about this occurrence. Her response went something to the tune of: if they were to return to perform for us, we would have to have some serious discussions and understanding on what is expected of them and cheering for the opposing team is unacceptable. I’m of course paraphrasing that bc I listened to her interview a year or so ago.

I watched the video of this supposed “cheering for the other team,” and it was children chanting “Sami, Sami, Sami” bc she was their former teammate.

It disappoints me on all levels. Cheering on others should be encouraged in a healthy environment. I know at LSU gym meets, I clap for ALL performances...but maybe just a little louder for LSU ??. When Alabama defeated us this year I stood to cheer for them at the end. That in no way changes my loyalty to LSU. I was proud to see our LSU girls themselves raise their hands high up to clap for Alabama even though they had just been defeated by them.

It just doesn’t sound like a healthy and positive environment is being fostered at UGA. Perhaps we’ll get the whole story once those affected are finished with the program, but until then, I wish them all the best and will cheer them along the way too. ??
