Cheerleading is often defended by proponents with a number of ways it enriches and educates young people of high school age. The National Cheerleading Association argues that it teaches teamwork, athletic ability and dedication. They go on to cite statistics:
"Cheerleaders are athletes, scholars, and leaders. Ninety percent of cheerleaders are “B” students or better, 98.5% plan on going to college, and over half participate in other non athletic extra-curricular activities. Over half of all cheer teams participate in community charity events, 40% of cheerleaders participate in school sport outside of cheerleading, and many hold leadership positions in their class and in clubs at school."
Given those considerations, it's likely that future actresses like Cameron Diaz, Sandra Bullock and Alicia Silverstone (shown here on cheerleading squads with twelve other future celebrities) had loftier goals with their involvement than simply dating a guy on the high school football team.
