This world is not ours

Just out of interest, what was your objection, and do you still hold it?  If not what changed?

As to hijacking, I would have categorised it as this discussion has through dynamic forces evolved into something that has survived this long  :P

Her initial foray was a change from gymnastics to "competitive cheerleading" which is where teams of young girls try to out do one another with amazing stunts at no small cost to their parents. I do not consider it a valid sport, rather a spectacle and a money machine.

I pulled the plug a couple of years ago, the money was getting to be stupid, only a few of the girls (to include my daughter) were serious about being at all practices. I allowed tumbling to continue.

She tried out for the High School squad, and made it. So, I backed down. At least it was cheerleading with a purpose, and tied to the social connection of the high school. The prior activity was private clubs, etc, and when all was said and done . . . something that I would never recommend anyone do.

It is working out after all, though, so maybe I'm not as clever as I think I am. :D
