Matthew Bomer News, Bothered of the Week, Cheerleading Ruled Not a Sport

I may have been camp, but I roomed with totally awesome (and coughsemidramaticcough) people. The dorm I shared at Be You (okay, that's not the actual name, but I saw someone where a shirt one time with that on it, and I legitimately like it. Oh, and whoever knows what actual college I'm talking about: I love you.), had cable. Therefore, it had NBC. Which means I didn't have to go a day without watching Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, but that's not the point. On July 21, 2010 at 11:35 EST, Matthew Bomer appeared as the second guest on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Even though Matthew "Matt" Bomer "refuses to comment on his sexuality, and he has a boyfriend, I was still happy. And those glasses were pretty damn sexy. ;)

Bothered of the Week: U.S. District Judge Stefan Underhill

I really get into a lot more ranting later, but U.S. District Judge Stefan Underhill, you bother me. Why? Along with the American Civil Liberties Union of Connecticut, you declared competitive cheerleading as not a sport this. Of course, as a competitive cheerleader, I was/am pissed. Being at a camp for cheerleaders that same day. A whole camp off pissed off, go fuck yourself people.

According to Title IX, an activity must have "coaches, practices, competitions, and a governing organization(s)."

Thank you Underhill, you bother me.

Cheerleading Ruled Not a Sport

It was great timing for that.

I know a lot of people do not consider cheerleading a sport. As a cheerleader, of course I do. I know most people do not like cheerleading because of the stereotype. I think that's unfair, because everyone is so "anti stereotype," but once you start on cheerleading, it's all: "Cheerleaders are whores." "They are going to steal my boyfriend." "Sluts!" "All of them are complete bitches." That's not stereotyping at all... *Rolls eyes*

I can sure as hell tell you, yes some cheerleaders are like that. I can also tell you I know basketball players, softball players, non sports players, and people who play in marching band that are like that.

Cheerleading is still considered a high school/junior high school sport in most states. Cheerleading has the minority of all high school athletes, yet of all the sports for girls, cheerleading takes up about 65% of all girl's sport injuries. Why? Well, according to the 'it's not a sport people," it's not that important. Have you seen some of the stunts cheerleaders do? Well, imagine putting those together for the first time in a gym with no mats. Or the cafeteria or hallways, or in the field. That's safe.

So everyone who believes that cheerleading isn't a sport, I hope your happy. All that's going to come out of this is more people are going to get hurt. It will be easier for inexperienced/ unproper trained coaches to get jobs, less funding, so cheerleaders can practice in whatever space is open. And say goodbye to any scholarships you were hoping to get for cheerleading.
