I strongly believe that Cheerleaders are amazing athletes and competitive cheer is amazing to watch, however, Cheer is a suporting cast for Sports. In my opinion, no school should be able to consider Cheer as a sport under Title IX as the intent of Cheer is to boost the morale and drive support for a sports team. My daughter is a gymnast and it is a bit frustrating seeing the emphasis on male sports and the casual disregard of female sports. Keep up the good fight. BillH Nancy,
