An 11-year-old cheerleader was allegedly kicked off of her cheerleading team because her coach refused to allow her to compete with her natural hair, her mother says. - NBCBLK
"While my daughter was at practice, coach Steph singled her out asking the team how they felt about her hair being different," Young said.
Trujillo told NBC News the decision to dismiss Niemah"was never based on the athlete or her ethnic background," but on the alleged behavior of the mother. "I apologized to the entire team for not giving the other athletes the same opportunity to choose their hair style," Trujillo said."The team voted and decided they would all wear the team pony."
