A bit of a rant but this is how I am feeling today.
I just read the letter from Kerry Perry. I am feeling pretty annoyed because USAG was supposed to begin a transparent future. It does not seem like they are.
They have created an information vacuum and only react to things. They seem to move from crisis to crisis. By not putting out information and still lacking transparency they leave the “news” to the trolls on twitter and FB who fill the void with insane thoughts and ideas.
I’ve said it to many of you individually but working with USAG right now is like having an alcoholic friend. You love them, but they keep making bad choices.
USA Gymnastics is in a tight spot. There is a lot of change that needs to happen. I understand that they are prevented and counseled from making statements. But please- tell us anything.
So, enough of the bullshit. We need people who will build us up not tear us down. We need critical thinkers and creative minds. Not just reactionary hacks.
We need individuals who can stand up to the media and answer questions. We need people who will not just do what is right but will surround themselves with others who want to do the same.
We need leadership.
We need someone to say, Enough of the Bullshit. Let’s go do gymnastics.
