[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cheer is so dangerous and poms is kinda sad.  It sucks that talented girls are stuck as side entertainment for boys sports.  [/quote]

I used to have heartburn about this sort of thing.  But when my daughter got involved, I realized that these events are more than just the boys team.  Football was when the marching band showed their amazing skills, both musically and choreographically.  And marching band is not a boys sport.  And both cheer and poms were at these events together watching and supporting each other.  And, these were some of the biggest draws of HS days - bigger than school theater, school concerts, school whatever.  And part of the reason was because it wasn't just football.  It was band, poms, cheer, and the crowds who showed because it was the best option for a Friday night in the fall.

Plus both cheer and poms have their own competitions.  And, at least in MCPS for poms, the other sports teams showed up at their invitationals and competitions.  [/quote]

It's just not.  It’s a sad activity with girls there as fillers between the main event.   The poms/cheer competitions are spirited and the parents in the stands enjoy it.  But, let's not confuse it for anything else.[/quote]
