There are lots of smart, accomplished and talented women who don't need to celebrate their "youth, talent and beauty" - whatever that means-  by cheering for someone else. Cheerleading competitions? Dance team contests? I'm all for it. Using your [b]skills to direct attention at someone else's accomplishments is not the ideal to me.[/b][/quote]

You know, I'm not sure about that, and I have gone back and forth many times as a former (competitive) cheerleader and now a mother of daughters. I cheered at many games where nobody was really paying attention to all the little accomplishments of the players. We have to pay attention. [b]So when you clap for the player who thought nobody noticed him and he's blushing and trying not to smile- that actually feels good[/b]. Now at work, I go out of my way to make sure all the players feel like they are valued and their efforts are noticed. It's not such a bad thing. Some days I feel like it's super unbalanced, and there's nobody out there cheering me on, though! :-([/quote]

You could have achieved the same thing just clapping from the stand. It's a sport it's basically set up to serve the "real" athletes. As I said, I love dance teams and competitive cheerleading, but the actual on-the-field stuff is not cool to me.[/quote]
