They should ban any cheerleader, best. Dispensable falderal.
Everything used to be better in the 1950s...... -------------

Ugh... Of course I feel sorry for the girls but STRONGLY disagree with cheerleaders in sports. Makes everything cheesy and American.

Ridiculous. No one would need to ban the gay cheerleaders, they'd have a tough enough job leading a cheer for anyone or anything (including gay rights).

There you go again, including America in a putdown. Are you sure this isn't a requirement of many of your posts? You told me you happened to like America...

I agree. I've never figured out the reason why cheerleaders exist. Or to be more precise, I, as a male understand it but, still, I think it is very diminishing for females. And byz emp, I don't know if you were kidding or not, but I also think cheerleaders are an american thing. -------------

They very well may be. I agree that they are something shallow and cheesy. However, I am noticing a pattern in Parnell's posts in which he takes every opportunity he can get to amplify something negative about America or word posts in such a way that negativity is reflected back on America.

You are so unAmerican!
DAMSELS IN DISTRESS
writtern by the Parnell News Network
The first noticable abomination is that those silly little North Americans place cheese on grilled beef patties and call them cheeseburgers. They also made a holiday out of corned beef and cabbage. Their other most despicable and inhumane act comes from drinking more beer than we Irish. Lastly, heaven forbid, they ogle cute young ladies with tight skirts at sporting events.

Let me , as worldwide wellknown sports- and girls liker, say, let the pretty girls sit next to me, without the pom-poms and other stuff of course, and everything's ok.
But these bouncing daws have nothing to do on the playground.
The playground is reserved for though men, might be the ref and sometimes for streakers.
Yes, this is an disastrous american invention, like cheesburger, commercial-breaks and entry-draft. No good old european sport needs this falderal.... -------------

Henry Ford and the Kennedy family aside, I would like to know if Byzantine Emperor thinks cheerleaders enhance sport?? And if it is deniable that cheerleaders are generally a cheesy affair at sports games? American=cheerleader, Cheesy=cheerleader THEREFORE American + Cheerleader = Cheesy and American!
Interpret that how you like.... ------------- |

If Parnells statement is anti-american. Then there isn't a pro-american country on earth. Cheer leaders are cheesy and they are american. Nevertheless they are kind of cool in the IPL I'll admit. There is no need for other countries to succumb to Americanisation without at least whinging about it. (NB. Americanisation, anti=antee not antie, IPL = Indian Premier League = Cricket)

He means the man in the street anywhere would neither care about nor find it important to know information that does not affect his daily life. It is a Jay Leno trick to pull on pedestrians, and the guy chooses his targets to get the "answers" he wants. There is also a thing called editing.
Youtube....what a fabulous tool for observation. A real achievement for the world.

In school, the cheerleaders tend to be the cute, pettite, small-breasted athletic ones. Pro football cheerleaders are management's pandering to Joe Six Pack with his boob fetish, their customer base. Pro football sucks anyway.
As far as good old european sport, are you refering to the hooligan riots at football matches? (ANOTHER EXCITING SCORELESS TIE!!!!!

What's up with the all the heat against cheerleaders? They're a great invention for those of us who don't care so much about sports but like to watch girls in short skirts dance and provide the occasional panty shot. ------------- |

The first problem in Sweden is that only basketball has these. And the second problem is that only girls between the age of 7 and 14 are interested in it, because around the age of 15 they become old enough to realise that it's not their ability of making human pyramids that is appreciated. Which makes me wonder why we have them at all. Probably because their parents think they are cute. |

pikeshot and es_bih: when I quoted Ikki it look to me like he was talking about the etymological history of a valley in Persia. I was dumbfounded as it looked like he was deviating mindlessly from the thread, plus it wasn't his area.
It must have been some bizarre IT error that caused someone else's post from another thread to appear in place of his. Truly bizarre. ------------- |

Watch IPL and you'll know. Also imagine a version of football, with a fifteen minute playing times, keeper is handcuffed and blindfolded, all defenders have to wear cannonball chains and they are each allowed only a tackle a half, all goals extend from one cornor flag to the other then you wil know what IPL is to cricket. ------------- |

I don't, as should be obvious from my post. I agree that 20-20 cricket and the like are monstrosities.
Though one of my best cricket-watching memories was of a 40-over John Player League match watching Bedi bowl to Barry Richards on a turning wicket.
Richards could hardly ever get Bedi away, Bedi couldn't get through Richards' concentration, and Richards kept everybody else away from Bedi's end for the whole eight overs.
And this was watching at the ground (which isn't a cricket ground any more
 )------------- |

Barry Richards, aparthieds most unfortunate victim. 50 over game and even 40 is still enough for a class act to shine. 20 20 is a bloody lottery.

Well, we have a better version of hurling. It is a well known college sport, aka the: "technicolor yawn."

I heard a statistic that beach volleyball viewing does really well among 13-17 year olds and 45-60 year olds. It really reaches out to that male demographic quite successfully.

I always thought that having "a way with words" was a national trait.
 BTW- Can anyone tell me what any of this has to do with black cheerleaders?
