It could be set that the pros have a set of rules separate from Olympics and WR attempts.

Anyone else watching the Cheer documentary on Netflix? It's like All or Nothing for one of the top collegiate teams in the country, a juco up just a little south of Dallas.

OMG. Jim Lehrer dies yesterday? RIP.
And it turns out Dominoes doesn't offer free packets of red peppers with pizzas anymore. What kind of world are we leaving for our children?
