PANCOCOJAMS EDITOR'S NOTE
Comments that are included in this post provide information and opinions about stomp and shake cheerleading, and/or about cheer battles, or this particular cheer battle. (Cheer battles are one component of stomp and shake cheerleading)

Some comments in this post focus on how that fight that ended this cheer battle occurred and some of those comments-and others-focus on how that cheer battle represents Black people.  

I consider many of those comments to be virulently racist against African Americans and other Black people, the places where we live, and our cultures.  

The comments that included in this post are only a small sample of all of the comments in the abovementioned categories that were published as of December 3, 2020 at 11:31 PM ET.

Numbers are added for referencing purposes only. These comments are presented in scattered subject matter as in adherence to the format that is found on YouTube's discussion threads.

Because pancocojams is a family friendly blog, profanity is given in amended spelling that is noted by an asterisk. This is the only exception that is made to the way these comments are presented.

"First of all I think this video is mislabeled. That does not look like ESL or Trinity.  The banners at the table look like O'Fallon and Alton. That being said, its still a shame that HS kids don't have better manners and sportsmanship. Kids imitate what they see in the movies. (Drumline and Bring it On). Movies rarely if ever promote good manners and sportsmanship."

"*catholic school. And I went there. There is a lot you have to accomplish to stay on trinitys cheer squad and these girls are amazing. Our team did nothing wrong the other team crossed the line, they got too close and the other cheerleaders pulled her away before something bad could happen, then it happened. The other coach shouldn’t have just let her girls get so close. Our administrators also had nothing to do with this. We have great staff and amazing coaches, I’m sure they didn’t know the other team was gonna swing out of nowhere."

"Every one of those cheerleaders should be kicked off their squad and coaches fired. Cheer battles are the antithesis of what cheerleading represents. Shocked high school athletic associations haven’t banned these battles. Why not “show” the other squad with your tumbling, jumps and stunting? This activity is also yet another assault on Black Unity. Just another venue to train young Black women how to tear down other young Black women. These girls should be doing unity cheers together and hugging at the end. School rivalries are idiotic and encourages students to hate the other."

"Why care about the comments folks cowardly hide behind social media to make. Posting pictures of their dogs and cats. I've been covering East S. Louis and other Black teams for over 20 years. When it comes to fights involving the sports teams, Football, Basketball, baseball and track. There was one fight involving the track team and that was in the stands. And this one involving the cheerleaders, that's in over 20 years. But every time I record white HS Baseball and Soccer for them there is usually a fight. They pay me for the production and do not want theirs on YouTube. So if you subscribe to this channel thinking your going to see a lot of fights, you're going to be disappointed. Troll the white soccer and baseball games if you want to see fights."

"The amount of racist responses to this is staggering. This could happen in any high school.

The ones to blame would be the cheerleading coaches as they fostered, facilitated this to occur by not ensuring that their teams conducted themselves in a disciplined manner.

Cheerleading as with any sport can get very competitive and within that is high, reactive emotions. There should have been clear rules of conduct, rules of engagement they should have followed,  but there wasn’t. If there was the adults failed in ensuring protocol was followed.

This does not mean that those involved don’t have consequences for their actions, but there are a lot of nasty comments about these girls (not adults!).

As a former cheerleader myself I see many areas where the teams were failed by their mentors/coaches."

"The orange team had no business crossing the line. Period! Then you cut the opposing team’s cheer off and then cross the line again. Where the hell was their coach?? She failed miserably at her job that day. Everyone knows that you don’t cross the line in a battle.

 

They should have been focused on fixing those lines and motions."

"My daughter cheers now and couldn’t battle with another squad because of this here in STL. She said the same thing you just said but this hurts other squads who aren’t involved in this type of mess Just sad and embarrassing 😔"

"Why is E. Side cheerleaders suspended. The Catholic school cheerleader clearly is the aggressor. She charges and hits the E.Side Cheerleader first. But news is reporting like the E. Side  cheerleaders are the blame. Report it correct!!!"

"They still should've never crossed the white line. The coaches are dead wrong for even allowing their squads to participate in this madness."

"@Nisha McClain LOL! Yes it is! Mariah Carey is the ONLY one who is in control of her "emotions." Unlike the others, that allow their emotions and c-wordy attitudes to overwhelm and control them."

"Yep! Rich,  vibrant, sought after, often stolen & "borrowed " from by other inept cultures that don't have an original idea in their heads...you know, kind of like in the movie Bring It when the Toros stole cheers from the Clovers & tried to pass them off as their own original cheers. 🤣 #Soundfamiliar#Typical”

"@RyanPerfect Mariah! She's a great biracial performer... Anyway your comment made no sense on top of being corny lol. Well I've had fun with y'all. and if you were trying to say something about me and some kind of corny way, I'm not bother. Just because I come strong don't mean I'm bothered lol. Like I said, it was slightly amusing but now y'all are just boring. Break time is almost over time to get back to giving my medications to patients"

"It's called Stomp and Shake Cheer. This form of cheering was created in the beautiful state of North Carolina. If you want to see how it's done get it from the best in the field Harding University HS in Charlotte, NC"

"These comments are not it. I went to trinity and this has nothing to do with the girls being black. They are ALL respectable, amazing, smart girls, I mean to stay on the cheer team you have to keep up with grades and be an outstanding citizen. The other team crossed the line and if someone swings at you, don’t tell me you wouldn’t swing back. This is horrible and both teams deserved the punishment but don’t say it’s because these girls are black. Same goes for the other team, yes they messed up getting too close for comfort but race had NOTHING to do with this issue."

"Rachel Michele Fights happens among kids even adults sometime. These statements are being made because they are black. Most sports fight videos are whites and Latinos. But then its boys and girls will be boys and girls. I’ve covered high school sports of Black frame for 25 years. Mostly E St Louis. This is the first that I’ve seen a fight. I mostly see fights the few times that I cover white schools."

"Back in the day there was a time when cheerleaders from different squads all knew each other because they did little league cheer or went to summer camp or church or elementary school together when they were little, or because their momma's knew each other from way back, and even though they went to different high schools, they were still cool on different squads. I can't with this cheer battle mess! When did cheerleaders start fighting other squads?"
