They've got spirit!

Last night I watched one of the movies that I consider part of my "all time favorites that I don't want anyone to know about" collection: Bring it On! Don't look at me like that, you know you liked it too. It's campy, it's funny, and it had the fabulous Gabrielle Union in it. BRR! IT'S COLD IN HERE! Ha ha ha. I started thinking about a guy I dated when I was in Houston...

I'll call him "Simon" to protect his identity. "Simon" was a gay male cheerleader and he was very strong and athletic. All the guys had a thing for him, but he never dated. We called him 'Knox' because he was so inaccesible. I was as surprised as everyone else when we started dating, but then he told me that he had a thing for Filipino boys. I should have ended it right there because:

1) I shouldn't be with someone who is into me because of something that I have no control over.
2) I hate cheerleaders.

Needless to say, the relationship ended quickly. Our dates consisted of going to his house to watch cheerleading videos or going to cheerleading competitions. He'd also turn everything into a cheer. We'd be at Jack in the Box ordering lunch and he'd spell out S-O-U-R-D-O-U-G-H C-L-U-B with his body. Yeah that's sexy.

In high school, we in the marching band hated cheerleaders so much that we'd start playing our fight song as soon as we saw them setting up for a cheer. High school cheerleading at my old high school was such a crock because none of them were talented. Only three of them could do the splits and all of them were too heavy to toss so they never did any lifting. And what the fuck is spirit? SPIRIT? The uniform was more of a symbol of popularity, and that's why we resented them. I'm crossing my fingers that when I go to my ten year reunion next year, that they'll all be out of shape and full of cellulite.

If that's not enough to convince you that I don't like cheerleaders, take a look at this video.

It's footage on the internet that featured a cheerleader who fell off of the pyramid and had to be taken away on a gurney. But that didn't stop HER spirit! Oh no. She kept cheering as they wheeled her away, her head immobilized and strapped in. Um, I'm pretty sure that you shouldn't fucking MOVE when there's a possibility that you've got some serious injury... dumbass!
