[cloudy]

The opinion in this post seems to be right on:

And here is the petition that has been started to remove Kerry Perry:

Interesting comment posted under that article...

Aimee Boorman for National Team Coordinator? I would personally pick Tom Forster.

Tom yes, but I doubt he even wants it.

There are interesting stories going around, from seemingly very reliable sources.

Many of the national team coaches want Perry gone, they have no faith is her ability to do the job well, based on her past efforts in the roll.

They want Rhonda to stay put. The Nat team as a whole might walk from USAG and recreate themselves under new leadership.

Crazy stuff, but I am feeling the source is right in there.

There is a lot happening

No. She's reactionary at best. USAG needs an actual leader right now - and she's not it.

Yes and there is more . Big problems for all coaches

I don’t like her. USAG has continued down the same path of absolute mismanagement since she arrived. She’s done absolutely nothing positive and clearly doesn’t understand (or just doesn’t care about) the actual gymnasts. She is not who we need to lead us into the future. Not even close.

Is anyone else alarmed at the rumors of USA Gymnastics filing Chapter 11 just as all of the coaches, athletes, and clubs need to fork over a ton of money in membership renewals?

As people should be.

Not surprised at all. I’ve predicted all along they won’t survive this and I don’t think they should at this point. They’ve done absolutely nothing to redeem themselves and put themselves on the right path. Firing Penny was the right choice, but it took them MONTHS and they had to be threatened to do it. Perry has proved no better.

I feel that restructuring is happening that could explain the recent firings, or whatever you want to call them. The big question is if bankruptcy is announced will gym owners and parents chose to send their yearly membership dues. I will seriously have to think about it. I personally wish usag would be decertified by the Olympic committee and a new organization certified. It would be very painful but moving forward the path would be clear.

That is really unfortunate to hear.

Was Penny really fired? I thought he just resigned and got a big payout (which pi**es me off because these USAG $$ should have been used better)? Of course I may be wrong...

Everyone can take a look at the interim board minutes from 4/29/2018...

https://usagym.org/PDFs/About USA Gymnastics/boardminutes/2018_0429.pdf

Now take a look at this one little section... the highlighted part in particular...

The fact that the general public is influencing the future is not good... the general public knows nothing about gymnastics.

You’re right — I don’t think that classified as fired. “Separated from the company”.

 

[gymyahoo]

Kerry Perry cannot provide any specifics to anyone on what she is doing to empower anyone. She is pushing her own agenda and many NT parents are angry and frustrated. The opposition is growing against her and I’m hoping she’ll he ousted ASAP!!!!!

Here is the latest update...

[wandrewsjr]

She took over a disaster, so was ready to give her plenty of room to try to fix the mess. But she has done a spectacularly horrible job of listening to the voices and concerns of the current national team athletes and their coaches. I realize the business of USAG must stay afloat to support the training and travel of the national team, but it costs NOTHING, does not affect the bottom line in any way, to listen and communicate.

 

[bogwoppit]

After the way she handled camp last week I have no faith that she is putting the athletes at the heart of decision making. It was a terrible thing to throw at their feet.

She does not listen, continues not to either.
