My fellow cheerleader, Tim Stevenson sent me a text the other day (22nd Jan 08) to say that Scott Mills was discussing male cheerleaders on Radio 1, "Scott Mills ripped male cheerleaders and now every cheer team everywhere are ringing in and complaining."
Naturally, I tuned in straight away, but to be honest it wasn’t very positive.
As the week went on, his show on the 23rd heard him speaking to “Pom Pom Pete and find out the reasons why men become cheerleaders(!)” This in all cases is for the girls (the men to women ratio is heavily favoured towards the men!) but once they realise that it is so much harder and physically demanding than they first thought, they soon become addicted to stunting; throwing (and catching) girls in the air.

On the 24th he spoke with a “lucky lad who lives with 9 cheerleaders.”
And today (25th) he had a “team of cheerleaders along to teach Scott their moves while he's in full costume.” For more updates visit http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/radio1/mills/rss.xml

I have attached the video of Scott’s crash course in cheerleading and it is also on his homepage on the Radio 1 website, along with a very short article. A guy called Ross Graesing left a message on Scott Mills' bebo page saying that he "typed in scott mills tonight to see the mad cheerleader thing and thought why wld anyone degrade themselves like that!"
It is actually worth a watch, seeing as he injures himself doing a forward roll!

They featured the Boswell Cheerleading Squad, a team who had some manly looking guys, it is just a shame they didn't show any stunts, seeing as that is what primarily impresses men in cheerleading.
