Can We Stop Pretending..

...that cheerleaders are athletes and cheerleading is a sport.

I mean, they're fun to look at, but if you're cheering for a team you're just another fan.

[Bun-bun]

that anyone actually gives a shit about anything that doesn't affect them personally?

[okpanic]

That something sounds bad when you don't actually have to do anything to make it happen.

That managers are the people most qualified to lead.

That survivor isn't fixed.

That we do anything online except look at porn and search for any excuse not to work.

That Buells look good.

Who's been doing that?

My imagination isn't that good.

...that college sports are important.

I have a neighbor that has to clean and polish his POS Buell everytime he rides it. when I am getting home from work he will walk over and start to tell me all the stuff he has done and how cool it is. It's a buell. I am more impressed by my buddy's SV650....

...that Harleys have a reliability problem but Ducatis don't.

(Should I duck and cover now?)

Sounds like my last two bosses.

Yeah-it's just what? A bunch of jumping around and what not. Like gymnastics without the starvation and failure by the time you're 14 and not a world champ.

[The Bacon Junkie]

HUSH you!!!  

Trust me, no starvation in gymnastics... at least not when I was coaching/competing.  It seems like if I wasn't training I was eating!  Plus, because of the difficulty and power needed for the tricks the athletes are throwing these days, you can't be too frail. When Kim Zmeskal won her world championship she was 26 and weighed about 130lbs... solid muscle! 

With the underage Chinese athletes excepted,  take a look at female gymnasts these days.  Pretty compact... 


just say'n...

Cheerleaders.

I remember, beginning in junior high and all the way through high school, I thought, man, they sure are hot, but WHAT the hell are they doing?

It was like robots dancing, in an oddly compelling way.

I didn't get it, but I kept it to myself.

cheerleaders are the sport

[The Bacon Junkie]

B-I-N-G-O

[Ddan]

cheerleaders are the sport

Let's stop pretending it's otherwise.

[DW]

Huh?  GM, Ford and Chrysler have been rebadging for decades.

Just because they have been doing it for decades doesn't make it a good idea. 

How about we stop pretending that something not being made like they used to be is a bad idea.
