There's a big difference between being uneducated and not knowing enough about cheer to understand it.
ETA: Not to be negative Nancy but I think that if you're a cheerleader you just have to learn how to let the ignorance of others roll off your back. It's just a part of the "sport". You can't escape it. Every single sport has stereotypes that are just that. Football players are probably just as tired of the "dumb jock who only thinks with their (you know what goes here)" stereotype as we are of ours. The faster you learn to roll your eyes and forget about it, the happier you'll be. At some point it won't even bother you.
I just see people who play sports just as athletes and not with all of these fanfic stereotypes C:
