Pediatrics Association Requests Safer Facilities for Cheerleaders
ELK GROVE, Ill. — A new report by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) argues that cheerleaders need to be treated like other athletes, not just as a matter of respect, but for their safety. If groups like the National College Athletic Association (NCAA) are convinced to recognize the activity as a sport, it could lead to an increase in spending on facilities and equipment. A similar boom in athletic facilities occurred when Title Nine was instituted on a national level, forcing schools to fund women’s athletics at a closer level to men’s sports.
