whaaaat?
I was reading my hometown newspaper online today and saw that an all state team was named. I clicked the article and found that it was an all state cheerleading team? that's a sport? they even had positions: flyer, base and back.
granted, I've seen that they televise cheering competions on espn, but that doesn't make it a sport. granted some of those cheerleaders do some athletic stuff, but but, but, but...cheerleading's a sport now? how backhanded a compliment is it to be named the best "base" in the state? I'm just old now, I guess. either that, or I'm jaded by my high school cheerleaders who would have all probably played "base".
