Kids Today Are Still Sissies

One month ago, I wrote about how kids today are becoming bigger and bigger sissies (here). So today I find this article (here) on-line about parents who want the governemt to regulate cheerleading. I only got as far as the 3rd paragraph before I got too pissed off at these people because they are so ass backwards. Here it is in all it's glory.

Chang’s family worked with state Representative Peter J. Koutoujian to file a bill in the Legislature this year that would create a committee that could recommend ways to make cheerleading less dangerous. Last fall, the mother of Ashley Burns, a Medford 14-year-old who died in a 2005 cheerleading accident, filed a lawsuit in her death. In addition to seeking damages, Ruth Burns is also asking a judge to force national groups that sanction cheerleading competitions and oversee the sport to adopt more stringent safety rules.

They don't just want legislation, but because this is America, a lawsuit has obviously been filed. Who the fuck are you gonna sue? Isaac Newton for inventing gravity? The other teenagers who didn't catch her? How about yourself for not realizing an activity (that's right, not a sport) where your little girl gets tossed into the air and hopes a bunch of other immature teenagers catch her could possibly be dangerous?

The government doesn't regulate youth football or hockey or lacrosse or boxing or even sledding (yet). Reason being that the parents who allow their kids to play these sports know that while they're 99.9999% safe, there is a chance that their kid could be that 0.0001%. Sorry Ms. Chang, remove head from ass and stop trying to blame other people and get rich quick.
