Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Tuesday, August 04, 2009

A U.S. study finds that most catastrophic sports injuries among high school and college athletes occurred not in football, gymnastics or basketball but among cheerleaders. The sport is the leading cause of catastrophic injuries -- usually involving spinal cord damage, according to a study published in the journal Pediatrics.

So I guess this explains Geee Duuuhbya.

One too many cranial landings.

Also explains the plight of the rtard cheerleaders here.
They've been soooo badly battered by their Heroes-they've become brain-damaged.

Other disturbing sports-related trends:

Injuries and deaths arising from passing out drunk after an argument with a armed, unstable mistress are rising to amongst former pro fotball players.

Also, there's a disturbing 10% increase in the average number of drunken pro footballers running down pedestrians with their sports cars. In 1978 that number was 2.2 per off-season. 1988 had the number at 4.3. 2008 numbers put that number at 7.8. Players union representatives chalk up the increase to the rising number of pedestrians in the average american street, which pose unavoidable hazards to superior handling high speed vehicles.

Amongst high-school cheerleaders, it is estimated that 14.8 metric tons of food is forcibly regurgitated each year in preparation for the upcoming football season, this is up from 12.8 metric tons in a 2005 study but far from the 22.7 metric tons reported in 1978.

Another alarming figure are the number of injuries occuring when cheerleaders spell out their team name with giant letters made with their arms while being held aloft by pimply teenaged boys named "Grant". A 2008 study shows that most serious injuries occur when attempting to form the letter "W". Cheerleaders that have better overall high-school SAT/CAT results in spelling and grammar are less likely to injure themselves while arm-spelling. Eye injuries have also risen to 11,000 per year, but due to improvements in pom-pom technology, the overall rise has slowed dramatically.

There is also a tremendous incidence of gonorrhea and syphilis among cheerleaders, which is, in itself a tragedy.

Ban it. Ban ever thing that can hurt anyone. After all, you libs have to be consistent.

Cheerleading very dangerous, guns very dangerous.

Ban everything. The libs even put a BAN on new fast food joins in 1 city in LA County because it was leading to deaths from health issues.

Ban every fucking thing, lets make this like the movie Gattica.

Cheerleader make Kuma tingle in naughty place.

Cheerleaders need to be wearing cheerleading helmets.

I think Cheerleaders should be handled much like Guns.

Get a conceal carry permit...

I heard that cheerleading has a higher incident of unplanned pregnancy compared to football.

Cheerleaders need to be wearing cheerleading helmets.

Better yet, let's put them in bubbles.

We here always thought that aerobics were invented for the sole purpose of giving cheerleaders something to do after they retire.

Bet my cheerleading daughter could kick your teeth in after a round off back handspring full.

Clue here....boys are involved in unplanned pregnancy too...

It's just sometimes hard to figure which guy on the team is really responsible.

Ummm.......No.

Ummm.......No.

Why not?

You worried you might choke on your pool boy's severed cock?

Proof that George W. Bush's cheerleading skills were more macho than previously thought! Go W!!!

"It's just sometimes hard to figure which guy on the team is really responsible."

Not after the baby comes. Then it is a simple test. Guess what guy, that football scholarship just evaporated.

#19. True that.

why? how many scholarship football players are there right now who have fathered a child?

Didn't you ever watch "All The Right Moves." The jock that knocks up the cheerleader winds up married working in some fucking blue collar town with kids instead of making the pros.

Where do you think we get all those wound up pop warner and little league fathers who beat on their kids for not living up?

Ummm.......No.

If I was as thined skined as most of the DR posters, I would flag you Jak Me So.

I just like to laugh at douchebags like yourself.

sorry.

Cheerleading is the best sport involving showing your crotch to the public.

Now that i think about it, I can't think of a single other sport that requires it.

sorry.

Are we talking after she services the defensive line, or before? My son says she usually gets worn out by the time she gets to the defensive ends.

We got a internet tough guy here. Watch out Monte! He'll do to you what Kevin23 did...or didn't do.

I heard that cheerleading has a higher incident of unplanned pregnancy compared to football.

To be fair, the football team provides the unplanned pregnancies...

"Cheerleading More Dangerous Than Football"

In football, you get banged up.
In cheerleading, you get banged.

On injuries, check out Rick Gore's "The Dawn of Humans: Neanderthals," National Geographic (Jan. 1996): 2-35, in which Neanterthal hunters' injuries are compared to those of modern rodeo cowboys.

LOL. The Legend lives on!

There is a 1971 short called "Beauty Knows No Pain", about the famous Kilgore Rangerettes and what they went through to become cheerleaders.

We saw it in sociology class in the 70's as an example of different cultural mores. It was tradition to shoot the girls lined up for their main photo in their short skirt outfits against a garden row of very prickly rose bushes.

Proving that, beauty knows no pain.

Anyone who feels the urge to take a swipe at George Bush in a thread about the rate of injuries cheerleaders needs to get that looked into. Take another bong hit and relax. The man is gone. We have a whole new trainwreck administration in the WH.

He did, thankfully before totally fucking over the country.

STD's probably high in cheerleaders too.
Perhaps they need a union to protect them
