Cheerleading

IAA Fan:
I see that we are allowing video tryouts for cheer leading. I am interested in everyone's opinion on cheer leading being a sport. Also, (be nice) but do you think that looks should be a more important factor than skill? I know this sounds rude and shows age, but I think cheer leaders should be brought in for their looks primarily. There should be a minimum set of standards, then it is looks. Then you set the cheers based on the talent. I know this is very subjective, so I am not sure how to do it.. However, I would be in favor of the videos be mandatory and public. Let the students, faculty/staff and Penguin Club members vote.

I wonder if all those who decided that cheerleader is not a sport really know how hard those ladies work...ask strength coach Cochran if he takes it easy on them...how many stadium steps they run...or how many weights they lift to get ready for the season...do people even K ow that they work all summer preparing for football season...try doing a standing back tuck sometime...If that's not athletic I don't know what is...add all that to never giving up in the face of adversity ...I've seen our teams give up before our cheerleaders do...cheering is a sport...believe it

I don't think of cheerleading as a "sport" but I do consider cheerleaders athletes. The UK cheer squad that does their basketball games are amazing athletes.
