There should be criteria for WHO can be invited to U.S. National Team Camps.
If you don’t meet criteria, you MIGHT not have a petition accepted.

Even if there is no ill intent towards Gabby, it LOOKS BAD for an organization that is still trying to improve their reputation for fairness from the many, many wrong decisions of the past.
