  • While we're complaining about things - Cheerleaders

    I figured since we're complaining about the production of our games and other things, this might be a good time to put out there the biggest problem of all.

    What's up with the weak arms on the cheerleading squad? This comes up every year...I thought I'd bite my tongue and not post about it, but last game pushed me over the edge when I saw cheerleaders walking up into the crowd and handing balls/shirts to full grown adults. Not only that, but we have what appear to be very in shape males on the cheerleading squad unable to throw a ball past row 10. I know it's possible to throw the balls up high; the tiniest cheerleader on the squad had no problems last year. Apparently she was the only one with an arm. I don't let my kids run like vultures to the front row to beg for balls and shirts. All I ask is that a few of the cheerleaders give Kemnitz a call and learn to throw....and if you can't throw, don't draw it out by getting different sections to cheer, yell and beg for a ball/shirt and then the best you can do is hit row 5.

    I'm not complaining one iota here....there's a dance team member that's perfectly positioned for me, and I don't seem to be tortured by the one annoying yell leader this year, so it's all good from where I sit.

        I can think of other aspects, which are lacking, but I shan't comment because I will be chastised.

            I agree with you on this moose except for the part that you call them cheerleaders. They are yell leaders. Cheer leaders resemble the USC "Song girls" but I refer to them as the "Sweater girls".

              I believe they are being scripted as well, as they are loud and proud at the womens games. Ok, maybe not super loud, but much smaller crowd makes them that much more noticable.

                    As opposed to a smart topic?

                        Or how about those worthless ball boys? Do they not screen them for how well they dry the floor? They act like they don't get paid. Some of them just go around & around in circles or just dance around without getting the badly needed areas.

                            That's not the first time if that is true. They were disqualified a few years ago for having an ineligible student perform with them in a competition.

                              I know, I know... It's a sport.

                              Yep.
