How are male cheerleaders considered gay? They're the ones who get to touch girls and look up their skirts, while football players are the ones touching and laying all over other guys. amirite?

This is because the majority of cheerleaders are females, and the majority of football players males. Gay men are considered to be feminine (so they are considered gay on cheer leading squads), and gay women are considered to be masculine (so they are considered lesbians on football teams). It's just stereotypical. For example, if the majority of men wore skirts instead of women, then skirts would be considered a male thing. Most women who would wear skirts would then be considered lesbians, just as most women who wear loose, torn up baggy jeans are considered lesbians. Humans naturally stereotype. It's just what we do, even if we don't like it.

How often does the guy cheerleader get the hot cheerleader?

by Anonymous 14 years ago

I don't know, there are no male cheerleaders on the cheer leading squad at my school. However, if you got a bunch of attractive, masculine men on the cheer leading squad, this would definitely change the perspective of the cheer leading squad stereotype, same when putting a group of females on a football team.

While it's true that that sounds very perverted it is not really that sexual. It is not gay

by Anonymous 13 years ago

If it is perverted it is sexual. If there is something sexual involving one or more guys, it is gay.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

It isn't perverted or sexual it just sounds sexual. Did you even read the comment?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

You said yourself that it sounded perverted. The connotation of perverted is sexual. Something that is sexual that involves people of the same sex is very gay. Football might not be a sexual sport, but the comment was making it seem like it is. I shouldn't have to spell this out for you.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Saying something that sounds sexual doesn't make it sexual. For example, I like nuts in my mouth could mean either I like to eat nuts (the edible kind) or I like male genitals in my mouth. Sounds perverted right? That doesn't make it perverted.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

The other person obviously meant it in a sexual way, meaning it is perverted. I could say that I would lick the cream out of your oreo and I would either mean I would like to eat the middle of a cookie you're eating, or I want to perform oral sex on you. Because of the context I say it in, I obviously mean the sexual version.

Football players are all homosexual males who become aroused at the sight of other males. They get the urge to sodomize, and in turn, be sodomized. They wish to engage in sexual acts with other males. The thought of fornication with the same sex is a thought that football players enjoy. They are fucking gay is what I'm saying.

The average cheerleader weighs maybe 115 pounds, while the average high school football player can bench press twice that.

Yes, but lifting weights is completely different than lifting people. And you don't get biceps that large from lifting 115-pound weights.

What, lifting weights and lifting people? Yes, I have. But you work different muscle groups. I'm saying that I want to see a football player lift a cheerleader with one arm fully extended, because that's what male college cheerleaders do. And until I see that happen, my opinion won't be swayed.

I've been both and I'd say it's really not a great comparison. Holding a woman in say a Liberty is really about momentum, lines and balance. Strength plays a big role too, but not as much as you might think. That being said, athletically, I would hold a male cheerleader up against a football player any day though. It's just a different skillset. IMO.

by Anonymous 1 year ago

It's more shoulder pressing and most football players can still do way more than 115. I agree with you.

Assuming this is talking about high school, guy cheerleaders really don't get to do that stuff. In high school, you do some tumbling, some cheers and some stunts. That's it (at least the ones I've seen). There is no groping involved. And besides, the whole audience gets to look up the girls' skirts, it's not like they have nothing on under their skirt.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

I think they're both straight sports. No people ever give Football credit, nor do they give cheerleading credit. Footballs not just banging head and tackling, you have to be in really really good condition to play it. You need to be fast, and storng, as well as dedicated. Im sure most football players do not ENJOY sticking their hand between some other guys legs. But male cheerleaders need to be athletic, strong, and dedicated to. They're both athletes, the only deifference is the way people view them.

My boyfriend is a male cheerleader. I'm pretty sure HE'S not gay. And I'm on the football team. I'M not a lesbian. And anyway, my boyfriend is stronger than I am, and I'm one of the best on our team.

I'm sick and tired of this bullshit and ignorance that goes around this site. Cheerleaders are seen as gay because they are in a primarily feminine sport. Just like someone might be considered gay if he took a sewing class. I don't know about you guys, but its pretty gay to want to hang out with a bunch of girls instead of your bros when the girls aren't interested in your dick.

First off, this entire post was just a joke, I'm surprised anyone took it seriously.
