I saw this in the daily Rush update and just couldn't pass it up since we've become Cheerleaders With Issues Central around here...The Associated Press actually reports the following:
RIPON, Calif. (AP) — Six cheerleaders are fighting suspensions after they flashed football fans a message on their underpants. Vice Principal Ken Goeken ordered the girls to serve suspensions Tuesday and Wednesday for defying their coach and going ahead with a special cheer they choreographed for the last day of the football season.Rush says it better than anybody:
At the end of the cheer, the girls bent over, lifted their skirts and showed the crowd the words "Indians No. 1" on their bloomers.
The girls — who missed reading scenes from William Shakespeare's "Macbeth" and fear their grades will suffer — are asking to make up coursework and instead be banned from cheering at an upcoming basketball game.
RUSH: "Six cheerleaders are fighting suspensions after they flashed football fans a message on their underpants." This is from Ripon, California. "Vice Principal Ken Goeken ordered the girls to serve suspensions Tuesday and Wednesday for defying their coach and going ahead with a special cheer they choreographed for the last day of the football season. At the end of the cheer, the girls bent over, lifted their skirts and showed the crowd the words 'Indians No. 1' on their bloomers." Bloomers! We're not talking about thongs here, and we're not talking about, you know, little briefs. We're talking about bloomers, the thing that your grandma used to wear. But I don't understand the problem, 'Indians No. 1', that's a pro-diversity message, especially during Thanksgiving week. What's the problem with it?Well, Rush, the only thing I can say is that this sort of thing might lead to coaches posing au natural with cheerleaders...but we wouldn't know anything about that sort of thing now would we?
