minor point, it's spelled Title IX.

second, slightly less minor point, I think it's fair to call cheerleading a sport as school sports go. the members of the squad engage in some very athletic moves, they perform/compete for all three seasons, they travel with other teams, etc. I doubt you'd quarrel that gymnasts are athletes, they have lots of the same moves, etc.

Now.

There are some silly young people who are on the cheer squad. There are posers and benchriders in lots of sports. The cheerleaders do attract a lot of attention, though. And the silly ones usually more than most.

Heh, I looked at XIIII and thought wtf is wrong with that? Duh!

We'll have to agree to disagree on whether it's a sport. The cheer culture is most definitely not about athleticism at Lil' Griff's school.
