just b/c in badger country they have 65% of female injuries coming from cheerleading doesn't mean its a sport. sounds like they need to do more cheerleading practice.

cheerleading is not a sport
it dosent take that much talent to do
what they do. i know girls that play actual
sports like basketball and softball and can do
more flips than the cheerleaders.
it is NOT a sport , it is entertainment.
and i do not believe they should get letterman jacket for it.
- that is my opinion.
