It’s not clear what happened exactly but it’s clear that aj has allegation of racism against her - context etc is unclear but to be honest that doesn’t matter. To bring someone to the program who left her previous program in under suspicion of racist allegations is not the right thing to do in my opinion, it does not respect the values and diversity of the Lsu program nor in my opinion the other girls on the team. The fact that we don’t know what happened fully should be even more reason for aj to be away from ncaa gym until a full independent investigation has been carried out over what transpired. Only then should she be able to participate if cleared of wrongdoing . Lsu must find out what happened otherwise how can Lsu gym legitimately have her on the team. They can’t just say we don’t know what happened at ucla and we are just going to ignore it. I appreciate the people in these discussions who say the girls on the team should decide and then if they allow her on the team that she should go through bias awareness training etc etc but I don’t think that the girls should have to bear that burden nor the program bear the burden of having someone on the team who has allegedly made racist comments. Let there be an independent investigation and until then she should be nowhere near the team. I doubt this is what will happen but I don’t see how Lsu comes back from this if they don’t ensure an investigation occurs . It will tarnish the reputation of the team going forward, the girls themselves will have to deal with backlash and also will impact on recruiting and fan support. No gymnast is bigger than the program but by taking aj on with these allegations hanging over her the team will suffer.
