I don't agree Dan and at the risk of upsetting people I think that the club is moving in the right direction but may have gone about it poorly. Like it or not Collingwood is now about a lot more than football. Image is everything and as we have seen in recent days any incident involving Collingwood draws attention. When we have cheer squad members punching each other it draws attention away from the good things that we as Collingwood supporters do. The cheer squad is the official groups that represents us as a club and as supporters and should therefore be the best as we hope our playing group will be. I've watched and listened with horror over the last few years at the racism, sexism and hatred that comes from a small minority and they should not be representing the greatest club in the country. As for legal action??? Sue the club you love, we that speaks for itself. |

If you want to waste heaps of your hard earned to sue the club, go for your life. Good luck with that! |

I sit fairly close to the Cheer Squad at the G and the behaviour of some individual Cheer Squad members leaves a lot to be desired. I don’t want some of these people representing my club or its members. The club and the sport has outgrown this type of behaviour. |
