...our uniforms made us look like glittery silver aliens from the tackiest planet in the solar system. It was terrible! My team and I were ridiculed the full two weeks we had to wear those garbage bags. The center of attention was what was on our backs, instead of our routines. The uniform, in my opinion, is just as important as the talent and skill any cheerleader (or team) possesses. In high school, I was an all American cheerleader. I must admit, I initially made the decision to try out for the cheer team solely for the uniform. The uniforms at the time were vintage inspired and they were beautiful. It was a red and blue tightly fit knit sweater with matching skirt. Very simple, yet very pretty, and I was determined to wear one! In truth, I had no cheer experience what so ever, but I was already an athlete and thought, “how hard can this honestly be?” How incredibly naïve I was! If I was to make the team and earn my uniform I had to learn how to jump, split, tumble, dance and cheer all within a weeks’ time. I poured my heart into it, let the adrenaline take over, and prayed that I learned...

...with cheering on the sidelines at games, most cheerleading squads participate in heated competitions to show their athleticism. Although it is not officially defined as a sport by the NCAA, it obviously should be for many different reasons. Dictionary.com defines a sport as "an athletic activity that requires physical prowess or skill and often a competitive nature. Cheerleading is defined as” the action and skill of a cheerleader.” So what is a cheerleader? A cheerleader is’ a person who leads spectators in traditional or formal cheering at a pep rally and athletic events. Cheerleading definitely fulfills this criteria maybe even better than other activities commonly called sports. I interviewed a young lady named Schae who used to cheer for Kenmore High School. She is now a senior and attends a different school. When she cheered for Kenmore she thought that the team was a wonderful team and cheerleading was something that she always looked forward too. . She loves...

...stratification. The majority of the student population also stood clumped together and danced/cheered as they had before. Diversity of race, gender, and even age was again observed within this homogenous group. The use of technology was still extremely present. However, this year, the focus seemed to be on the Snapchat platform. Using the new location story search, Stephanie and I were able to observe some of the public Snapchat stories posted by students in the area, though none were from the game but rather came mostly from a local coffee shop. A key observation I was keen to check up on was the behavior and dances of the cheer team, notably suggestive in nature last year. This year, rather, the dance was much more structured and less sultry, most noticeably influenced by what we observed to be a new cheer coach. There was also a gay presence on the cheer team, which seemed to be well received and supported from those...

...We’ve Got Spirit, Yes We Do! When people hear the term “Cheerleading” they think of preppy girls from the movies, wearing short skirts and being somewhat unintelligent. Research shows that this is simply not the case. Cheerleaders have been around since the 1890s. Some of our most famous presidents have stood on the sidelines, cheering their teams to victory. Franklin D. Roosevelt cheered at Harvard. Ronald Regan cheered for the basketball team at Eureka Collage, and even both Bushes cheered at Yale and Andover (Graff 526). Through the years, the sport of cheerleading has evolved, yet the majority of people still do not consider cheerleading a real sport. In 2010 David Whitley published an article in aolnews.com stating that “Just because you work hard at something or just because there is a risk of injury involved does not make it [cheerleading] a sport.” Although schools and National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) do not consider cheerleaders as athletes, they make them abide by the same rules and safety guidelines of all other recognized sports (historyofcheerleading.com). Cheerleaders have some of the same concepts of gymnastics, and gymnastics is considered a sport. The perceptions of Whitley and the NCAA as well as many others are reasonable to some; however, it is my belief that cheerleading is a real sport. Cheerleading like any other sport requires an enormous amount of strength and agility, grueling hours of practice, and extreme dedication. Cheerleaders...

...given a proper announcement and individuals are recognized in front of the school, while other predominantly female teams are rather asked to “just stand up where you are”. Funding for boy and girl’s teams are also noticeably unalike. The school system is always quick to dish out additional money for the upkeep for things such as the football stadium and even week long camps that include traveling costs, yet the excuses are endless when it comes to giving financial assistance for organizations such as the cheer or volleyball teams leaving girls forced to do fundraisers that the baseball or football teams would bat an eye at. When the school is even confronted on these situations they often state “we are more willing to give to the programs that bring the most money into the school”. In the case of cheerleading, how can you accurately differentiate the funds that come from cheer and football? There are many high schools who go to the games as way to watch their friends cheer, and plenty of parents that go solely for the reason of cheerleading making the school’s argument an obvious cover up. The promoting of female sports sign ups locally has even seemed to be declining over recent years and even seem to be placing registration forms for involvement a places girl stereotypically go. For example, a pageant is being held in my town within the next few months. Paper work for the pageants is advertised for being available at all the hair and nail salons around town. Why not target...

...With utterly no references to the alternative diversity of sexual orientations or gender. There was no discussion or scenes of any sort of transgender or gay people as everyone is expected to be and portrayed as a cisgender person. In addition, all the other sexual orientations are neglected. The movie produces a highly heteronormative. First of all, in all of the cheer squad, every single couple is present as heterosexual. The main character, Britney is dating a high school football player, Brad, who was the quarterback. Obviously, society expects the most popular girl and the top football player to be dating. Britney and Brad were the ideal heteronormative couple to look up to. After moving to a new school, she came across a male cheerleader boy named Jesse; they befriend each other and develop romantic feelings for each other. The society that we live in expected a man and a woman to be a pair. What happened when we have gays and lesbians? Throughout history, most ordinary people do not accept homosexual relationships. Men view this as a threat because they presume that gay adult males are working against...

...fan in our societies and everyone who follows sports falls in one of these categories. The categories include: Diehard fans - no matter how the team that they are supporting does, they will always support it and won’t miss any game or news at all about their team. They knows every player on the roster, position they play, and uniform number. Casual fans – these are averaged or below average followers of their team. They stick and follow their teams, but not to the extent of following every game. Mostly they know a few star players. Fair-weather fans – these are the one that follow and cheer for their teams only when they become successful. They have no loyalty to their teams when they are in down period experience. The Pessimist - They talk only during commercial breaks. Pessimist might be more in love with the game than everyone but the Passionate fan. They just keep it keep quiet in case of a loss. Pessimists goes into every game bearing in mind that their team has already lost, and will only become happy during an absolute victory. The closer the game is, the more intense the Pessimist is. However, if you can get enough booze in them early, they will always loosen up and...

...Deafness as Culture In this article, by Edward Dolnick, it is made clear the view points of the Deaf community toward medical procedures “curing” there lost hearing. The Deaf community is strongly knitted together supporting one another and helping each other to communicate with others outside the community who isn’t deaf. I liked how they said Deafness is not a disability but a subculture. This statement really signifies there union as a community and culture. The significance between the terms “deaf” and “Deaf” is that the upper case D is significant that the “deaf share a culture rather than merely a medical condition.” In the article it states many deaf parents cheer on having a deaf child just like any hearing parent would cheer on having a hearing child. The Deaf society have a strong pride in themselves and being deaf and do not want to change that feature about them ever even if there was a procedure. That is why many Deaf people get frustrated with hearing parents who have deaf children when they first go see doctors and audiologists before actually trying to talk with a Deaf person who will be more understanding a willing to help there child be a part of the community. Some differences between deaf minorities and other cultural minorities is that deaf minorities choose not to change who they are because they see themselves as not having a disability, while other cultural minorities might want to change either through medical procedures like blind people wanting...
