Do y’all know her Start Values for routines
First, Jessica I hope your voice gets better soon! After listening to today’s brief episode, I was a little bit let down. At the start of the episode, you stated that you heard that Gabrielle “Gabby” Douglas did not like being called Gabby anymore. I was disappointed to hear you say “that’s not going to happen”, yet then go on to discuss how she’s an adult woman and should be able to make decisions for herself with regards to a petition. I agree that she’s an adult woman who can make decisions for herself, and I think the community should respect her wishes and treat her accordingly, including her personal rebranding to let go of her former nickname. Gymcastic certainly has the reach, the audience, and the respect in the Gymternet community to be able to push a shift in the direction of her wishes. I hope you will consider supporting Gabrielle in this new chapter of her life and career. Thank you for all you do!
PS- I accidentally posted this to the forum first instead of under the episode, so I will be taking the forum post down.
The execution scores are too low!
