FIRST off! It has nothing to do with the stupid song. They asked their sponsor if they could dance to it and she said no. They purposely switched the music behind her back for the shock factor! They only have to miss a couple of games. It is a good lesson learned. They are supposed to be leaders in their school and their band. One thing I have learned in life are that breaking rules has consequences. Luckily noone was hurt in this instance. Hopefully they will think twice next time.

Conservatism = hatred and intolerance.

Wow! They look ready for Jenna Jameson’s path. Even Katie Perry said that song has invited un-welcomed advances from women.
It is the coachâ€™s fault. When I heard the song being played in my car, I had the option to turn the station, which I did. The citizens of Van, Texas came out to see a game and support young hopefuls. They did not deserve to have supporters of Californiaâ€™s prop 8 evade their fun.
This is just poor judgment. They are just so many wonderful songs of camaraderie to play at a sport event. Why was this annoying song chosen?

i guess a more suitable song would have been, “hips don’t lie” by shakira.

@ erin, I know! Back in my day if you were a certain size you didn’t qualify. Muffin top used to be a bad thing, now it’s a statement. Cruise past a school (before you think I’m a perv, I’m picking up my kids and Attending games where my niece is a cheerleader) and you will see the new chic — pants below the gut, shirt tied in the back to show off more of the belly

WOW! You really should have used a picture of those girls, Im thinking their suspension from the team was a result of the coach trying to find some valid reason to get them off it.

A safer choice would have been the song Your So Gay and You Don’t Even Like Boys. Is this the same as the girls who were suspended for using the word vagina from the vagina monologues in NY? That was over reaching too.

While I love my home state of Texas, there are way to many fucking conservatives around here… Small towns like the 1 I live in, are very hostile places if your a liberal or just different(gay) from everyone else.

Holy crap! They are putting a LOT more into majorettes than they did when I was in school. That’s a big girl.

When i was in high school some guy sang the Hanukkah song by Adam Sandler.
He was suspended because, they say, it was offensive and it promoted drug and alcohol use…
I don’t know I don’t think it was offensive, and there’s nothing wrong with gin and tonica, or marijuannca

i wouldn’t consider myself a liberal but it is pretty ridiculous to get suspended for something so little. though i dont get how its so crazy that people voting for mccain. no matter what opinions someone has about something or whether or not they are in favor for a certain candidate really isnt for someone to question, well only if that candidate happens to be a crazy, racist, mass murderer or something.
