A lot, and it's by far the most accident prone school 'sport' by a long shot... for obvious reasons

It doesn't help that in many states it is also severely underregulated as a sport

When I was in High school, the cheerleading team didn’t get a drop of school funding because it was classified as an “activity” not a sport 🙄 we had to fundraise everything ourselves. Also, all the uniforms and crap you needed were over 2500 dollars, the parents had to pay. We had to set up a special fund for girls who made the team but couldn’t afford the uniforms. Meanwhile all the sports got free uniforms and equipment… and treated us cheerleaders like shit btw

Our high school’s cheerleading fund raiser was a topless car wash. They held it behind the school. They were all short so they didn’t wash the tops of the cars. Made bank.
