what is your view on cheerleading especially the type that goes on in present colleges and High Schools?

Cannot see need for cheer-leading, do we really think people play better w/cheerleading??

Seems to sell sex, instead of a game of ball.....

really, what purpose does it serve if one wants to watch a ball game? supposed to get audience excited and cheer team on, but really, does it? people thse days dont get worked about about anything, really...too busy on electronic gadgets or in line at concession stands.....

Yes the pep rallies at our Catholic high school had cheerleaders in short skirts "dancing" to "hip hop" music in short skirts with their posteriors directed to the audience.

great, so sexy dancing to incite the youth to music that should have stayed in the ghetto, if there and not really, as it does not uplift the black youth, either.....

Cheerleading just leads to more immodesty. The cheers they do are usually rather suggestive, not to mention that probably around 90% of cheerleaders are dressed in trashy outfits.

gotten worse and more suggestive with modern music too, not just band music/cheers

Guilty. I was on the drill (dance) team too.

We had teachers who would give detention to girls who did the "parochi-roll" (rolling the waistband) to shorten their plaid skirts, but Friday game day we could wear way shorter cheer uniforms. Consistent much? They ended up allowing dress slacks later anyway.

I didn't think school dances were too awful, but the dresses have gotten much worse in the past 5 years. Fewer long gowns and more cocktail dresses or something that looked like you fell on a weedwacker.

ah, one of THOSE populare people, then

seriously though, true, at times will see younger set out on dates/proms,etc and one has to almost ask "why bother wearing anything, you barely are now"? or "did that dentist know you stole his floss"?

People do not really how highly sɛҳuąƖized a cultru we live in and what that does to the mind.....then again, most people do not think thoughts are sinful, only actions......

While we are on this topic -- and it is related -- I have also recently learned that it has become commonplace for high school girls to have bikini car washes. The source for this new activity is apparently a cheerleading film called Bring It On, where the girls have a bikini car wash to fund their team. It has now spread like wildfire and people are actually doing it. What is worse, Protestant churches allegedly are participating in this.

Mothers are encouraging their daughters to partake of this fun-filled and all-American pastime. The girls get in bikinis and go stand out on the street with signs, to encourage men to stop by for a wash ( does that sound like they are engaged in a certain very ancient profession? ) They have the uglier girls lugging water and doing menial tasks, while the girls with good bodies are put in bikinis; and the moms are the ones who are organizing everything.

Go ahead, eat at Chick-Fil-A, lol. This society is NOT going to last.

I had a claimant one time that was a former topless car washer......she wanted to FB me and besides ethical issues with being her govt case worker, had to say "no thanks"..too much sex promotion out there as it is, dont need to add more to the huge heap we see, hear........

I live in the Bible Belt and can attest to this. Even in so-called conservative Baptist churches you see this going on.

As for the original topic: Cheerleading is absolutely pointless. Most of the girls on a cheerleading squad wouldn't know a touchdown from a holding penalty. It is a way to get looked at, nothing more.

conservative Baptist do not equate morality w/sex, that drops off radar, thanks to accepting a few things
-total depreavity
-once saved, always saved
-mind does not matter, its heart and "relationships"

so sɛҳuąƖ morality goes under the bus

I'm sorry, but having played highschool sports, I have to give you some bad news.

Cheerleaders were eye candy. Cheerleaders do not make people want to cheer or cheer louder. Players do not get "pumped up" listening to a bunch of teenage girls chant silly rhymes on the sideline. Most cheerleaders do not seem in the least bit interested in the actual game. Cheerleading is pointless.

My sons and I have recently had this displeasure of witnessing cheerleaders at a hockey game of all places. They wear painted on outfits and serve as a distraction for men trying to watch the game. They do not in anyway make the players play harder or make the crowd cheer louder.

Well like I said, I see now why it's wrong.

we live, we learn, esp in the non-Catholic world and the terrible state of cathecism......
