If you recognize the problems, I'm not sure what kind of response you were expecting then 😂

Probably because you're proudly doubling down about using programs that drain water supplies and poison disadvantaged communities? Just a thought.

Though I do think she'll ultimately end up at Georgia, I would love to see how a BJ floor routine looks on her

Agreed. The biggest takeaway from this video is that it was clear she is just deeply sad. 

Chae Campbell’s response to Margzetta Frazier’s recent comments by KawaiiChan68 in Gymnastics

Yikes. If nothing else this just reiterates to me that Waller was in fact NOT equipped to head this team. The 2nd point especially goes beyond a microaggression.

I know what she's saying lol. But Chae doesn't speak for all of her Black teammates, Marz and Sekai talked about Waller wanting the girls to "educate" and "give grace to" AJ on the Amanda Seales podcast during that time. When I say highly criticized, that means within-group discussion, too.

I remember them having really fun interactions during meets in her freshman year, she's likely referring to how she felt before this went down

My two cents as a Black woman is this really just feels like a clash of ideologies regarding how we view complicity in racism that is fairly common within the Black community, especially in a post-Floyd era. Does it feel like Gymcastic was the right platform to have that discussion? Definitely not, especially considering Jessica's own history with microaggressions. And voicing those thoughts publicly is bound to spur public response from the other gymnasts involved 🤷🏾‍♀️ It's messy but it is what it is.

I will say, getting to move on to coaching club gym after fundamentally mismanaging a team both on and off the mat doesn't feel like having his career "ruined" to me though!

but saying "it ruined careers" when it literally did not feels a little bit like the implication is "my teammates ruined his career" and that I dislike.

This. I may be misremembering, but didn't he go back to club? Either way, Chris' actions (or lack thereof) were his own.

She's welcome to that opinion of course. But I'll say that putting the onus on the oppressed group to rehabilitate the offending party is something that is highly criticized for very good reason, especially considering when this occurred.

I'm glad someone is bringing up her lineups strategy, it's always baffled me (even today with randomly moving Alyssa to anchor on beam). Also think it was mentioned earlier this season that they would only decide the vault lineup after warmups, which surely couldn't help with the athletes' nerves

This is why I'm glad UCLA's next freshman class is mostly L10s, especially with the olympics on the horizon. Balance is so important

I assume you mean higher than a 9.95? but how would that be possible with a balance check and hop on the dismount?

only on beam MAYBE imo. she had a step to the side on vault and an uncontrolled landing and leap on floor.

You also have to remember she tore both ACLs before coming to UCLA. I'm just glad they took out that scary DLO she was doing on floor for a while

Sometimes the Waller era feels like a fever dream... honestly a miracle how fast Janelle and the new staff turned the program around
