Football Player Quits, Joins Cheer Squad

I'd rather take a shower with cheerleaders than take a shower with football players.

How is this news? There have been male cheerleaders at most colleges and universities for years and most are straight. Apparently many of the people making gay comments below have never been to college. My favorite retard is the one who said this kid "can never get to know the enjoyment of having fun with women" because he's hanging out with a bunch of cheerleaders rather than an all-male football team. Umm...

I admire this young man for doing what he wants to do. Why have so many suggested he is gay just because he wants to cheer? The reason is because that's the society we live in. The same one that tells our girls they are ugly if they're not a certain size or look a certain look, or tells our boys they're gay if they don't hunt, fish and like playing football. I say all the more power to you young man. Keep the same attitude and you'll forever fly high!

Why so many hostile, shallow remarks? If a girl wanted to go out for sports would you call her a lesbian?
When a guy becomes hostile toward a man who doesn't totally fit his narrow view of masculine, it's usually rooted in fear and insecurity. Men who dwell on the idea of other men possibly being gay, are usually afraid of their own homosexual impulses.

Way to go logan! Doing something you love is more important than doing something that all the other guys are doing.

Slow day in world news...

switched might be the operative word here?

nice

Let's see he gets to grab girls #$%$ look up their skirts and hang out with them instead of getting his head bashed in every day and getting his #$%$ snapped by a towel after he showers with a group of closet homos. Sounds like a smart guy to me.

Barney Frank will quit Congress to become a cheerleader. You go girl !!

This is a normal thing at my school since the football team sucks and the cheerleading squad wins just about everything.

funny football players would think he is gay, yet their on the field slapping mens #$%$ where he is with all the hottest women in the school. Who is the smarter one. I cheered in High School on the Co-ed Compatition squad and it was the most fun I had in high school. even got payed for it when as a NCA staff member. Good for him for stepping out of the norm.

We had a bunch of guys do this when I was in high school. Quite a few years ago I might add. They got the last laugh on their abusive football coach, and got to stick their hand up a girls skirt a few times a day. (They were a lifts and flipping squad) What could be better!

maybe he is acting and it keeps close to those beautiful cheerleaders.....he probably getting more than the team's quaterback...

Fact if he continues this he is almost guaranteed a scholarship in collage,plus I'm sure he gets more tail then the whole foot ball team.This is the equivalent of a male nurse.Iam very homophobic,racist and a bigot but i see nothing wrong with kid decision.Besides who am i to judge

Just because someone wears camo and hunts doesn't mean they are a rednecked, biased person... maybe you need to face your own prejudices lady.

Wickerman, yes, because hanging out with girls is gay and showering with other guys is not.

yes yes yes.... Totally acceptable and applauded if hes using this this be able to grope and oggle up girls skirts. Thats totally christian and acceptable..but heaven forbid a guy actually be gay... thats what Im hearing in these posts, and sadly thats typical thinking nowadays. People are always saying "Im tired of the gay agenda, Im sick of them trying to cram their lifestyle down our throat, parades, equal rights, why do they have to let the world know they are gay. Well 1) you seem to think its alright to cram ur beliefe that they will burn in hell and are an abomination down each and every "queers" throat, do you think they do not get tired of hearing THAT hatefilled speech. 2) maybe if people didnt try so hard to demean, mistreat,and condemn gays they wouldn't feel the need to come out proud,and loud about who they are as to say "this is me, I like who I am , dont try to change me". The less people try to push on them that they are wrong just for being who they are the less they'll feel the need to say IM ME AND DONT TRY AND CHANGE ME. Door swings both ways

We had this in my high school in the mid 80's... Nothing new... And the best retort? "Why would I want to be hit by sweaty guys in shoulder pads, when I can have a hottie on my shoulders?!?"

Either he's gay or he's very smart because he might not be a good enough player to get a scholarship playing, but every major (and a lot of minor) university has men on the cheer squad and they do award scholarships for them. He's a member of a very small pool in line for potential scholarships. He's got a better shot than any of the players on the field! And, the big plus is, if he's NOT gay, he gets to hang with the babes every day, all year long! I'd ask for equal treatment and use the same locker room as the rest of the squad!
