I was going to give him the benefit of the doubt, but after reading sportsnut's recent posts, good god.

My condolences to your copy editors.

I'm sure he applies himself in his work, at least more than he does here. heck, even Tom Petty probably uses the shift key at his job.

My last statement on this subject is if your editor tells you to go cover it do it. It also depense if the area your in gives a darn. When I worked for a paper and they made me cover Juco cheer tryouts the city wanted it and the editors said why the heck not if it sells a few more papers.

Now if boys wresling came to you and told you to cover it would you or would you say no I am not going to cover a sports with guys in spandex??? Why should it be different to cover cheerleading??? In most high school they still sell cookies but the school pays for the bus to away games thats it.

yabba dabba doo.

Jeepers, Outie. I though Starman's post was pretty conclusive, too. I was just pointing out that we cover other subjective sports like boxing, and like IJAG I thought saying you weren't covering a hs sport that had been deemed a sport by the local PHSAA was subjective.

And then I threw in gender.

But that doesn't mean I am incapable of understanding, brother. I just couldn't think about a men's sport that gets the same treatment. Also note the question marks -- usually not indicative of conclusions.

Bull. You were absolutely jumping to conclusions and anybody that read your post can see it.

Bull, bull.
And Nyah nyah nyah, too.

YAA!

You had that comin', oop!

I am truly humbled. Oh wait. No I'm not. Mediator is full of it and he doesn't like having it pointed out.

And I always have it coming, shot. Haven't you noticed that by now?

Oh, and happy birthday.

The best way to cover cheerleading is from a low angle, shooting upwards.
