Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders’ Kelli on ‘Tricky’ Relationship With Dayton and Her Mom Shelly

Transcript

00:00It has been tricky to navigate, no changes would have, nothing would have changed the decisions

00:06on who made the team. But yeah, I think there's a little scar tissue from Victoria and Tina.

00:13Just us seeing a friend and a friend's daughter and the emotion in their own homes, you know,

00:20different places that we may not normally see it was hard for us to watch as well.

00:26And in Dayton's case, she came back, she tried hard, and it was a competitive year,

00:33and she wasn't in the top 36. And so we had to make that decision. And it,

00:39you know, it's not easy to share that message.

00:44Yeah, I don't think anyone we've ever brought back, we've, if we're going to bring them back into

00:50training camp a second time, we want to make sure that they're going to be successful.

00:55And she made it to training camp. So she made it to training camp and we want,

01:00we would only hope for the best for her. And then, then in fact, training camp is where

01:05she started getting a little overwhelmed, but she made it to training camp fair and square on her

01:09own. So I'm proud of her for that. You know, that's kind of almost an integrity question,

01:14because we don't call moms first on anybody auditioning. It's, it's, it's a professional

01:22audition. There are HR considerations. We just, we just wouldn't. Um, I, I heard Shelly say that and

01:31you know, it, it makes sense to her, but it wouldn't have, it wouldn't have been how I would

01:34have handled it.
