I don't really see how balking about how unsafe cheerleading is makes MMA any safer.
...its danger is more assumed than the real blunt force trauma that comes from falling ten feet in the air completely unprotected...Who is "falling" from 10 feet "unprotected"? Basket tosses are an advanced skill, and so advanced members only should be doing them. I don't know of any bases (outdated youtube videos excluded) that would toss their flier then leave her unprotected.
...which makes [MMA] safer than the concussive blows of boxing, is more of a momentary threat than a prolonged headache...I'm not the world's most hardcore MMA fan, but I have watched it several times with my dad (former boxer and wrestler) and I would think that things such as repeated knees to the head would cause some injury similar to boxing. There are usually knock-outs in MMA too.
...It’s ban is simply a matter of misinformation and an unwillingness to learn...Wow, this sounds familiar.
Almost like something that could be said regarding cheerleading injuries and their "statistics".
...Take the aggression directed toward mixed martial arts and employ that energy into fixing the cheerleading issue ... which will allow young women to explore other sports... less dangerous competitions...That's nice. I'm pretty sure most girls that are a part of a cheerleading program ENJOY it, and I know many who do more sports then just cheer. I think government involvement has a place much more in MMA then in cheerleading.
Thankfully I don’t have to devise any choregraphed cheers to inspire anyone to do anything.So, according to this article cheerleading is horribly dangerous, and also not anything more then coreographed cheers?
I'll leave a comment (mostly the same thing I have just said here). Let's see if it gets posted
