Matter of Perspective
Protocols ^ | 1/10/03 | Avraham Bronstein

From the Its All a Matter of Perspective Department Exhibit I: Ohio State Cheerleader Tara Zinslen on kicking a 20 yard field goal at halftime during the National Championship game last Friday night:

It brought at least a moment of respect for both [women and cheerleaders]... We (the women) had a lot of pressure on us, especially being cheerleaders and girls," Zinslen said. "But that kick kind of sealed it: We are athletes, too
Exhibit II: ESPN.com's Brian Murphy:
Did any of you see the halftime promotion at the Fiesta Bowl? It featured cheerleaders from Miami and Ohio State, trying to kick field goals. So this little bird from Columbus gets up there, in her cute little Ohio State cheerleading outfit, with a cute red ribbon in her cute little co-ed hair, and just flat pures it! She knifed that thing home like she was Annette Vinatieri. I seriously had to apply a cold compress to the forehead. It might have been one of the Five Hottest Things I've ever seen. Forget late-night Cinemax. Forget the NFL cheerleaders in Santa suits. A Midwestern co-ed, a Big Ten betty, in a cheerleading outfit, with her red ribbon bouncing in her hair ... slicing home a field goal to win the big money for her school. Like her name was really Jan Stenerud, and like she was ready to wonder why a guy was named Jan in the first place, Euro-names or no Euro-names. We'd better move on to the next item, before she puts in a restraining order on me

The sports reporters were all saying, going into the game, that Ohio State has a better kicking team than Miami. We just didn't know it included the cheerleaders, too.
