I think it's a little silly. Just from what I've seen here on the boards, the coach of Kentucky seems to be very much coed-only so I think it's a waste of time. And just because a petition gets so many signatures doesn't mean whoever it's intended to is gonna cave and do what the petition says. Not to mention, the petition is to the University of Kentucky, not the athletics department, the head cheer coach himself, or to any other specific person, just the school, so maybe this person didn't think the petition out too well.
I get where the person is coming from, but there are a lot of other schools in Kentucky with killer all-girl teams (ex: Louisville, western Kentucky, and Morehead.) And if you know enough about the cheer world to know about Kentucky, then you probably already know what it takes to be a female on Kentucky. I don't think a backspot is going to dream of cheering for Kentucky, go to a clinic, and be shocked out of their mind that it's all tiny tiny girls and have her dream crushed. It's kind of common knowledge.
