I applaud her efforts, but Rochard's post about her limitations in her ability to do the actual activities required (not just her attempts at them) covers it.
I'm sure that she would be completely shocked finding out that she is limited in life. Wow. Such news!

I've seen male cheerleaders, fat cheerleaders, ugly cheerleaders, cheerleaders that can't jump, cheerleaders that can't dance, cheerleaders that don't even give a shit. Telling someone they can't cheer on the team and help out with cheerleader related events because they don't have a few limbs seems fairly shortsighted. If somebody wants to help out on the team, why would you say no? Find something for them to do.

Any lawsuit or huge ruckus is uncalled for, which is what this whole situation seems to be. But most of the attitude and judgments in this thread about people that are disabled is pretty shitty, and unfortunately it's how most people in the real world seem to look at the disabled.

I can't tell you how many times I've been told that I can't do something, shouldn't do something, or something would never happen for me... fortunately I'm a stubborn fuck and did most of them anyway. I get quite annoyed when I see a person telling others that they will never be able to do something because... they are a woman, they are black, they are short, they are fat, they are disabled, they are too young, they are too old... it's all bull shit and the product of a weak mind that can't see beyond the preconceived notions of society.

This girl has no legs, no arms, yet has more ambition and balls than most fully abled people do. She'll do just fine.
