This must be our most popular tweet yet! Check it out for some hot takes on the sport…Which ones do you agree with?
‘Backspot’ Review: The queer love story takes a gritty and realistic look at the sport of cheerleading [Fort Worth Report]
“The queer cheerleading drama directed by D.W. Waterson takes a grueling look at the physical and mental toll the sport takes on teenage females. The story (…) is focused on girlfriends Riley (Devery Jacobs) and Amanda (Kudakwashe Rutendo), who are vying for a spot on the all-star Thunderhawks squad led(…). With themes of body dysmorphia, peer pressure, drugs, and alcohol, the coming-of-age drama soars higher than a basket toss.“
“Presto, Malaysia's First and Largest Loyalty E-commerce Aggregator, and OldTown White Coffee,(…) joined hands in a spectacular Victory Celebration last Saturday to honor Team Malaysia Youth All Girl’s (TMYAG) historic achievement. The event, held at OldTown White Coffee’s Jaya One outlet, marked TMYAG’s remarkable journey from securing Malaysia’s first-ever Gold Medal at the ICU International Cheerleading Cup 2024 to their earlier Bronze Medal win at the ICU Junior World Cheerleading Championships 2024 in Orlando, Florida.“
Side note: We wonder what more brands and sponsorship interest could do for the sport around the world 👀
