A controversy has erupted in Bedford after a local cheer coach alleged that racism and lies from the town’s recreation department led to her removal from her coaching position.
The dispute, which has drawn passionate comments online, centers around long-time cheer coach T’Asia Evering, who shared her frustration and heartbreak in a public Facebook post that has since gained significant attention.
In the emotional post, Evering wrote,
“I’ve held my tongue for too long,” “I have been coaching for almost six years — middle school, high school, and rec league. I know how to coach, how to work with children, how to keep them safe, and how to teach them to have fun in the end.”
T’Asia EveringAccording to Evering, her removal from Bedford’s recreational cheer team came without a clear explanation and was the result of internal politics, jealousy, and racial bias. She wrote,
came without clear explanation and was the result of internal politics, jealousy, and racial bias. “To the people of Bedford and the Bedford Recreation Department who tried to bring me down and lie on my name to MY children, saying that I’m a terrible person who ‘breaks the rules’ and then saying they ‘actually don’t know why we aren’t letting her coach’ — you can ROT honestly,”
T’Asia EveringEvering, who described herself as deeply dedicated to her cheerleaders, said losing her team was devastating. She said,
“Losing my Bedford girls hurt more than ever,” “I was ready to turn the town up and show another side of me, but I’ve got too much respect for myself. I appreciate my returning parents and even some of the new parents who had my back to try to keep me afloat.”
T’Asia EveringShe went on to accuse the recreation department of acting selfishly by removing her and preventing her cheerleaders from participating in Cheerfest, one of the season’s highlights.
Evering added,
“To also pull my girls from Cheerfest is selfish! One of the most exciting parts of the season — and you took my girls and pulled them for what?? You all are weird,” “I’m sorry to my girls for not being able to lead them the rest of the season. I was definitely cheering them on from the outside!”
T’Asia EveringHer remarks struck a chord with others in the Bedford community, particularly among residents who say they have experienced similar treatment.
Evering’s post was widely shared and commented on, with many expressing anger and disappointment toward the recreation department and the town’s perceived racial bias.
Randy Leon Swainbazemore, who shared the post under the headline “Bedford Racist Town,” wrote:
Can’t stand Bedford they constantly do people of color so dirt racist ass town
Randy Leon SwainbazemoreThe post’s comment section quickly filled with heated opinions. Kevin Saunders, another Bedford local, echoed the sentiment bluntly:
Them redneck mfkers in Bedford will never let a black person grow unless you dick ride like some them mfkers do just to get what they want idc I said what I said kiss they ass they let you do whatever until they get tired of you I hate Bedford
Kevin SaundersRandy replied in agreement,
Kevin Saunders definitely exactly 💯
Randy Leon SwainbazemoreAnother commenter, Michelle Crider, added,
Yes they do
Michelle CriderWhile the Bedford Recreation Department has not yet issued a public statement in response to the allegations, the accusations have sparked a broader discussion about race, power, and fairness within small-town athletic programs.
Many Supporters of Evering have argued that her removal reflects deeper systemic issues that often go unspoken in community-run organizations.
Evering, for her part, maintained that her passion for coaching remains unchanged despite the setback. She insisted,
“I won’t change the way I do things,” . “I’m on my cheerleaders the way that I am because I want to see them succeed, and teaching them in my own ways will never change.”
T’Asia EveringHer supporters say that Evering’s approach to coaching, described as firm yet caring, has produced confident, skilled cheerleaders over the years.
“She’s been nothing but positive and strong for those girls,” one commenter wrote on another thread. “To take her away mid-season like that hurts the kids the most.”
As of now, it remains unclear whether Evering will be reinstated or whether the recreation department will offer clarification on the decision.
In the meantime, her story continues to fuel an emotional online debate about racial inequality and local accountability.
Evering concluded in her post,
“Bedford Recreation definitely did me dirty because of some ladies who just wanted my position,” “Taking and removing me from my girls was a very selfish act from you all — and it’s sick.”
