Cheerleading
Girls who dislike playing competitive games will be allowed to trade in their hockey sticks for pompoms in an effort to bring American-style cheerleading to English schools. Children in Plymouth, Leicester and Hertfordshire are among those already being trained in “cheer dance” – the beginner’s form of cheerleading that includes pompom routines, chants and athletic manoeuvres, such as the splits.
The hope is that cheerleading will liven up the PE curriculum and encourage those pupils turned off by competitive sport to exercise.“Cheerleading has a broad appeal because it combines so many elements like dance, gymnastics and music,” said a spokesman for the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, which is behind the initiative.
If it were down to me (& its just as well it isn't) I'd say that "Cheerleading" already has a (ahem) "broad appeal"

Females are soft and warm and cuddly but the modern-type females of today left me cold so I decided to shun them.
Let some other sucker impregnate them, attempt to sate their whims, tolerate their emotion-laden illogic.
Happiness and freedom was and is more important to me than being chained to a female.
Sure, there ARE a few decent wimmenfolk' out there but their numbers are far too small, in my opinion, for me to take a chance with any female.
Witnessing the damage done to males and society in general by females the past few decades I felt compelled to create the Females as Property Movement.
I have been shocked by the MANY males who have communicated to me that it may actually be necessary to curtail female access to the full gamut of ADULT privileges and rights due to the too-common female inability to accept ADULT responsibilities.
