For My Audience

For this blog post I will be talking about what message I wanted my readers to receive after following my blog. I wanted to make them a supporter of cheerleading, and if not a supporter just yet, I would I have a made them more open minded. We re growing as a world, and many aspects with in it have grown over the decades as well, cheerleading is one of these aspects. Cheerleaders deserve the same recognition as other athletes.Why can't cheerleaders also be rewarded for their hard work? How as we as a community can help spread the growth and popularity of cheerleading. It is an exciting source of entertainment, but they have just been over looked. Don't let stereotypers define who cheerleaders really are. What if cheerleading was one of your passions? How would you feel if you had a large portion of the population pulling against you?
I wanted to share some of my opinions of my audience members. I was hoping to do this by providing further inside and outside knowledge of cheerleading. Those who are uninformed have a chance to learn about cheerleading and realize information that they have never noticed before. By changing the opinion of one, many other opinions can be changed. Say that my blog changes the opinion of one person, then they get into a conversation that happens to be on the subject of cheerleading one day. During this discussion then begin to hear negative comments being said about cheerleading, and stating sometimes incorrect information. Then my audience member would be apply to relay the information they acquired from reading my blog and possibly change the opinions of other people in the discussion. It is a domino effect that needs a little push, and cheerleaders need all the help they can get.
I hope that I was able to efficiently fulfill my goals. I thought by adding in my personal experiences and opinions I would be able to give them an inside look. I included pictures of my own cheerleading team and videos of my personal performances. Being able to show them that my experiences that I talk about is first hand information. I have been on the other side of the wall, I was a cheerleader for most my life. I have heard the comments, I have gotten into arguments, I have worked through the practices, dealt with the injuries, and still continued to be a cheerleader. That is because I am proud to be a cheerleader, just like every other cheerleader out there. We are ten times more supportive of ourselves and each other because we lack the support of others. This sometimes portrays the wrong message,  but it is not because of any stereotypical reason, it is because we love what we do. Cheerleaders are hidden in the corner of the athletic world, but one day the light will shine on them, and then everyone will see how strong cheerleaders have become. They will soon realized the progress we have made, and call cheerleaders athletes as well. Being different shouldn't be a bad thing. Therefore cheerleaders should be looked at any less because they are different, because essentially that is all they are. I think we have won the opinions of some and are beginning to change the opinions of many. Many people out there I hope can admit that there are athletic portions within cheerleading. Just because we decide to make a combination of entertainment and incorporate athletics shouldn't rule cheerleading not a sport. I hope I was able to help the cheerleading community by broadening their fan base throughout this blog.
