“Cheer” has become disconnected from its origins, and from reality.

What started out as a way to get students rooting for their team on the field, has become an entity unto itself, almost as if the on-field happenings are irrelevant.

The classic example of cheerleaders being disconnected from the real sports is the video clip of the USC cheerleader going into her routine just as Vince Young scores the game-winning TD in the national championship game.

Go away, “Cheer.” Come back, cheerleading.

I realize you have been committing your collum for quite a while.Its too bad,you didn’t stir my intrest prior to today. However it didn’t take long to decide you didn’t intrest me. Your insite is rather sophmoric. the Granger bit deserved a deeper insite. As for the cheerleading topic. The judgeing is subjective, as in football. Any sport that has a striped shirt in it ,is such. Most often the outcome of these classic wars is determend by the yellow flag. Like a court of law(instead of stripes, a black robe) What is lacking is responcebility. A real penility needs to be ascessed.

Cheerleading is hard work, but it is not a sport. Here’s why: any activity that is based on the opinion of one person or a panel cannot be considered a sport. In football, a team gets six points when they reach the endzone regardless of how they do it. No one scores them on the style or effectiveness of the score. Cheerleading is based on the opinion of judges, and is therefore not a sport.
