Former biology teacher and assistant cheerleading coach Ashley Zehnder, 24, quit her job at Pasedena High School in Houston, Texas on October 9 after she admitted to having sex with a 17-year-old student all summer long. She was prompted to confess after a nude pic she Snapchatted him made its way around campus.

Two out of every three "catastrophic injuries" of female athletes are caused by cheerleading.

In a hard-hitting exposé of Michele Bachmann's high school cheer squad, the always politically relevant National Enquirer reveals that, if America were a cheerocracy, she would never be president:

Here's a video of an unidentified male cheerleader performing a dance routine at China's Shandong University. There are several female cheerleaders in the video, too, but you won't notice them.

What are the olds doing these days, besides drinking heavily and shooting the young? Many are going back to their old colleges and cheerleading, at football games. Only problem: "most of the girls are a lot bigger now." Hmm. [WSJ]

Remember when the only males you'd see on a competitive cheerleading squad were the ones holding up the girls as they did their acrobatic flips/tumbles/whatevers? Not anymore! This guy is here, he's got no fear, and he's ready to ~*~DANCE~*~!

Remember how after Rupert Murdoch bought the Wall Street Journal, he decided the paper should be covering sports more? That was awesome. Today: Is cheerleading stupid, or what?
