He didn't post a picture of himself that lead me to say that, he just described himself, but it was still in bad taste...So, duly noted.
Well said, I appreciate that.

Alright, let me get this straight. 1) Girl w/ no arms or legs tries out for cheerleading. 2) Said girl with no arms or legs doesn;t get cheerleading spot. 3) Armless/legless girl and family upset that she did nto make the team. 4) Armless/legless girl and family suing school distract. Right on these facts.
Seems like a girl with no arms or legs would be very aware that life is not always fair. and she expects cheerleader tryouts to be fair
Its not about being fair, it about being kind to your fellow human being that was not dealt as good a hand as you were. Sometimes in life we make special exceptions to rules that were made for the grand majority of us.
It called being human.
***Sits back and waits for terrible analogies trying to prove this statement wrong***
Apparently this is a tough pill to swallow for some.
I thought 'Make a Wish' was a good analogy...
Actually anyone who has met me wouldn't call me fat. I was just using that as an example. Edited this part.No, your fat ass can go join a gym and quit eating so much...What can this girl join to grow some arms and legs?
Will power can fix you

I couln't agree with this more. What happened to doing something because it's the right thing, not because someone will sue you if you don't? I'm astounded that the school doesn't want to have this girl on the squad.Its not about being fair, it about being kind to your fellow human being that was not dealt as good a hand as you were.

And what was the point to your comment, grow up. Everyone has an opinion. And the Big Labowski Movie sucked big time. 6 foot 5 and 255, I did not know they can stack crap that high.Girls like this shoudn't be cheerleading.Congratulations, bro!
BTW, what does that have to do with my last post concerning you equating over-eating to a girl that was born without arms or legs?

As a person that may have a little more insight into this girls situation (since I'm a paraplygic) I have to say that she should be held to the same standards of the rest of the squad. If she can't do the moves she shouldn't do the moves. But, that in no way means she can't participate with the squad in other ways. I would love to join the military, but unfortunately I can't. Doesnt mean I can't send care packages to men overseas, donate to wounded warriors, etc. I played football from age 5-17 when i was hurt and when i got out of the hospital i couldn't play anymore, but it didnt stop me from being at every practice and every game being there for my team. Being devoted to my team mentally even after a life changing event i was given "Team Captain" award. I'm not tooting my own horn here, I'm just stating that there is still a lot that young lady can do for the squad besides doing flips and what not. We had a young man named robbie on our football team that had downs syndrome. since he couldnt play on the field he became one of our team managers, but we always considered him as a vital asset to our team as our quarterback
