    Im a male competitive cheerleader and I definitely say its a sport man, now im not so fond of sideline cheerleading, and I wouldnt say they work as hard as we do, but both kinds of cheerleading is a sport, it takes as much hard work and sweat as any other sport. We may not be tackling each other, or bouncing a ball, but tumbling and stunting is hard work, and also, male cheerleaders arent gay, so all you people that believe that cheerleading isnt a sport........ thats stupid on your part hahah. and not all male cheerleaders are gay, were around girls almost all the time so what could be better than that to a guy? Now some are gay, but not all of us,, so yeah haha.

    SO many resignations and retirements. Tbf, Beckham is 37 - so he need's to retire.. But, he can still make money with all his pants commericals. Fergusson - he's 74. Been the best manager ever, made his money. He deserves a rest, agreed? I do miss him, and I didn't want David Moyes to take over D: Mancini- Didn't read up on him really, but he looked very stressed?
