Do you guys genuinely think Kelli & Judi are adjusting to the girls concerns or is it disingenuous.
I always thought this. It's no question that this generation is very strong and bold. This generation is not as hestitant to address concerns as much as prior generations have been. It's shown in work ethics mostly, things that were allowed decades ago in coaching and work environments, are things that are in line for being fired, sued and or rightfully reported today.
I remember when S1 of AS came out, old clips of MTT went viral and Kelli was under a LOT of fire. Not sure if people remember, but specifically the clips of her saying that one girl looked like a stripper, were making rounds and Kelli looked really bad, I think that was when she really tried to show more "positive" face.
But when the girls talk about how Kelli & Judi aren't very positive, not making the girls feel appreciated or they aren't showing much affection. Do you guys think Kelli & Judi are viewing them as "less then"? Like when old people complain about this generation, they view us as soft because we're complaining about things they put up with?
I think they are mostly only putting up with it because this is such a VOCAL group of women, so they're more hesitant to ignore them because they could risk losing everyone. Which, I can imagine wouldn't be too big of a problem because they get so many auditions, but the "Veteran" expertise cannot be replaced until those rookies get at least 2 years under their belt.
I mean, I think Jada is very iconic because I don't think they've had a cheerleader so vocal, motivated & empowering enough to rally everyone up to actually cause a change.
I was getting that impression from them especially with the pay raise conversation. Judi saying "Yeah, I had a full-time job and I was a cheerleader" - It just came off as "If I could do it, you should too" more than her telling a story about relating to their struggles.
