What standards do you think are in place for other sports?

Probably fewer things than are the actual fuck wrong with you.

I have no idea where you went to college. Our cheerleaders had access to all the same trainers as the football players.

Thank you! This is what I'm saying.

so you can make personal attacks against me but I can't against you because you're disabled?

And soccer and football can? Both of those are incredibly complex sports.

That's because there aren't studies on those sports. But here's the thing: People die doing those, every year.

Are you kidding? Most of us are still perma-crippled from soccer.

Considering you can't even figure out cheerleading is spelled as such and not cheer leading, I'm sure I'm missing out on a wealth of intellectual resources.

As opposed to every other sport where they hire a licensed and trained coach.

No relation to anything I said.

And all the bars are totally padded so they never hit their heads. Wait a second....Nope. Just the mats. Which don't help if you fall outside of the mats or on the bar.

Yeah. Those Field hockey skirts are baller at protecting your head. Most sports don't have a lot (enough) protective equipment.

Yeah, of course no one wants to acknowledge the non-school or non-team sports. Which are usually the ACTUALLY dangerous ones. Everyone seems to believe if everyone recognizes cheerleading as a sport it will suddenly be regulated (name one regulated sport in high school) and safe.

Dude. I'm giving them credit. It's a sport. It's an awesome sport. I participated for a long time.

I was a cheerleader. I also played other sports. I'm not really sure where everyone decided I didn't like them, I just know first hand it's not the most dangerous sport. No one ever tackled me while I was cheerleading, and I never did a stunt I didn't know I could pull off.

Football coach: Three. All teachers. No training.

Ad hominem attacks? Classy as fuck.

That's accurate. Most school don't have enough sports for women, but that doesn't mean they aren't playing them outside of school. They limited their field data to "reports from schools".

I assume people wouldn't fall on your head if you could throw and catch them correctly (Though hell if I know, maybe that's part of the routine?), so the throwing and the catching is the problem then...right?
