cheerleaders 🤝 equestrians (but specifically horse girls): your sport not being taken seriously by other people and being treated like a joke

#deity dialogue #when I was in middle school my computer teacher was also a football coach and would have ‘banter’ with the cheer coach (who was also an #assistant teacher for my math class btw she was so sweet she helped me a lot in class and also made me a bow which was stolen from me :( ) #about how ‘football was a real sport and cheerleading wasn’t’ LIKE ARE YOU KIDDING ME #jsut because cheerleaders look cute and are peppy and more often than not girls and women you don’t take anything they do seriously #do you understand the strength and agility and flexibility needed to be a cheerleader do you see the shit they’re doing and you have the #gall not to respect what they do as a sport??? i wasn’t a cheerleader but a few of my friends were and I respect them so much that shit must #have taken so much of everything #obvs I’m not covering the full scale of what it takes to be a cheerleader cause again I wasn’t one but like I’m so pissed whenever people #have the audacity to act like it’s not a serious sport and I’m mad at the same for equestrians as well. #Also generally I hate people who think cheerleaders are inherently awful and bitches like y’all shouldn’t generalize just because some #people in a group are mean or popularly portrayed as mean doesn’t mean it’s true my friends from school were sweet to literally everyone so #can it. this isn’t me like dismissing anyone who’s been bullied by anyone but don’t like assume everyone is terrible thanks bye #it’s the misogyny and we all know it :/ it affects men in the sports as well because if you’re a male cheerleader you’re treated badly and #it’s the misogyny and we all know it
