We all like looking at cheerleaders, but rarely do we get to see what they see during a game. An LSU cheerleader strapped a GoPro to her head during a recent game and shot some impressive video of what her routine looks like during a game.
The video fails to show all the drunk guys in the stands asking her to take her top off, or telling her to get off the field so they can get a better view of the game.

Yet another reason to hate cheerleaders…
The Louisville and Pitt game wasn’t over and the idiot cheerleader grabbed the ball and threw it in the air. A technical foul was issued. Pitt hit both and then had a half court heave to force overtime. The Cards could have LOST a game they had locked up because of a worthless yell leader.
Now…
1. What are you doing on the floor?
2. Why are you touching the ball?
3. Why do we have cheerleaders after high school?
Bloody idiot…

It was a solid Super Bowl yesterday. Good football. Fun to see Big Ben lose. Though I’ll never understand why America is annoyed by commercials and fast forwards through them on the DVR 364 days a year (“I hate commercials!”) but on one day on the calendar we can’t miss them.
Something was “missing” from the unofficial holiday yesterday. Did anyone notice? I doubt it.
Super Bowl XVL was the first in the 45 year tradition not to to feature cheerleaders. In 1970 the Pittsburgh Steelers dropped the Steelerettes, and in 1988, the Green Bay Packers canned the Sideliners. So, no pointless pom-poms on the sidelines this year. Did anyone care? I really doubt it.
Here’s why: cheerleading is a ridiculous, moronic, unnecessary activity. Don’t even try to call it a sport. Do you know who cheerleaders excite? Themselves. No crowd in the history of sports has cared what they are doing on the sidelines. Never. Not once has a crowd said, “Man, we’re down three touchdowns this sucks. But … wait a minute, look at that pyramid! It’s symmetrical! Come on gang, let’s get excited!” Never has happened. The action in the game dictates the crowd’s emotions and noise.
Nor have the players ever noticed the cheerleaders to them exhorting them to “be aggressive” or to play “D-Fense (clap clap) D-Fense.” They have coaches and practices for that. The players only care about cheerleaders after the game if you’re picking up what I’m putting down.
Junior high and high school, fine. They’re kids. Cheer away with the weird head bobs, spirit fingers and same cheers that every school does. After that, in college and pro sports, it needs to disappear. It has passed cliched and become embarrassing.
The most watched sporting event in our country still had excitement, the crowd knew when to cheer and the audience at home knew when to pay closer attention without trashy bubbleheads kicking in the air for no apparent reason. We can do without cheerleading everywhere.
Selah…
