Its a long story, but ultimately it is about money. The people who gained the television broadcasts on ESPN and elsewhere found a cash cow in feminine hygiene commercials. But bad coaching caused catastrophic injuries and high dollar lawsuits. Therefore those leaders chose to eliminate skills instead of properly training the coaches, which the USAG has done for gymnastics.
Thank you for your words of encouragement. I have other videos that I still need to upload. I have put these online in the hope that cheerleading will remember its roots and reinvigorate the industry.
Awhim25, I am grateful for your perspective. Your knowledge of the history of cheerleading needs to be preserved. Please feel free to write what ever you know so other cheer leaders may know their past!
Wow this is awesome!!! Cheer sure has changed since the 80's.
@tochiirokero
I disagree. In the '80's they cared about spirit and stunts. Today they don't care about anything but winning.
80's cheer was a total production...very creative stunts and wall builds.
The upsidown baskets without back spots crazy man

Thanks for your contribution to the what made Cheerleading great in the Golden Age of Cheerleading.
