Ok, so I'm a boy cheerleader (age 15), and i love it. I couldn't imagine a better sport to be a part of.
But with being a male cheerleader, comes a slur of different insults, mainly people associating male cheerleaders with being homosexuals.
Firstly, what could possibly make a male cheerleader a homosexual? I mean, you come to a practice, surrounded by beautiful girls, and tell me that i'm gay.
Secondly, most people don't understand the difficulty that is actually involved in Competitive Cheerleading! It isn't easy, It isn't wimpy. We do a lot of work, and are often underappreciated.
So: my question. Why aren't there much more male cheerleaders? Is it because they can't handle the stress of the insults and constant criticism?
Cheerleading is my favorite sport in the world. It is fun, but still requires determination.
Can anyone answer my question?
Thanks
Nick.
