There Is No Justice In Football State
You have the freedom to watch mighty slam jams and touchdown passes. Else than that:
A teenage girl who was dropped from her high school’s cheerleading squad after refusing to chant the name of a basketball player who had sexually assaulted her must pay compensation of $45,000 (£27,300) after losing a legal challenge against the decision.
The United States Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear a review of the case brought by the woman, who is known only as HS. Lower courts had ruled that she was speaking for the school, rather than for herself, when serving on a cheerleading squad – meaning that she had no right to stay silent when coaches told her to applaud.
Completely unreal, but unfortunately, very real: Cheerleader must compensate school that told her to clap ‘rapist’
