If you had or have a daughter would you let her become a cheerleader?

[eric]

Yes

[Professor]

Sure. Why wouldn't I?

[eynon81]

if I have a son I'm forcing him to do it. had a friend of mine do it, had a great dating life and got a full ride scholarship to CU.

My daughter did cheerleading at the younger ages in elementary school. Now that she is in middle school, she decided that she is beyond that.

Since we are on a political forum, let's look at this from a political slant. Are activities like cheerleading discriminating against the poorer students?

[Decypher]

Do you mean because poorer students might not be able to afford pom-poms or whatever?

We had 3 male cheerleaders along with the dozen or so female ones in HS. Our school was too small for football, so basketball was our main sport (and damn good at it, too!). When we rode the bus to/from games - who do you think got to finger the cheerleaders under their bloomers - the starting 5 from the bball team, or the male cheerleaders?

Lemmie give you a hint - we used to joke in the locker room that kitty juice on your fingers should be banned because it helps you grip the ball better.

[Professor]

So, after posting that - I just realized that I've reassessed my answer to question in the OP.

f**k no, she ain't becoming a cheerleader!
