Your Opinion
Please send me your opinions!
I have received tons of mail regarding your opinions. Here are some opinions I have received in the last two months.
...People don't seem to understand the hard work
and dedication that we put into the SPORT of cheerleading..They think all
it is is jumping up and down, and smiling a lot...I wish they could
attend one of the practices and see just how hard it is..As a flyer for
stunts, I come to school with scratch marks and bruises, and when I
explain to people what happened, they sometimes start to realize what
cheerleading really is about....

I've always had a passion for cheerleading and take offense when
other's refer to it as the "athletic sideshow," as I heard someone put it a
few years back, or in any other derogatory manner. The stunts and
gymnastics involved require at least as much athleticism as football or
basketball, and the perfect syncronization requirements (dance routines)
are unmatched in any sport.

Cheerleading is not a real sport. Cheerleaders are just there so that
people can gawk at them. Cheerleaders are the biggest ditzes in the
world. I have made a plan to stalk and kill all cheerleaders that I
know, so you better send a newsletter to all cheerleaders to beware.
