" Michael -- weekdays tended to my. I was struggling to get -- for saying this but there are certain things. The only women should do you know what you're not allowed to. Any more to acknowledge. That there are in fact differences between. The -- you know you're supposed to and pretend that's not true what's fascinating is that. The latest signs we have shows that the differences between men and women are almost as great as the differences between the species. Guys then digs for example are closer than men and women are biologically speaking which is not new to anyone and this issue. This bizarre at the notion from the left is -- to pretend there are no differences sexes has popped up in one of the weirdest context of all."

" There's a list of sexism in Westport Connecticut cheerleaders taking for football players for the school apparently thinks -- they predict. It depends on who you ask but this staples high school tradition of cheerleaders baking -- for football players is definitely a hot topic in Westport. After the school newspaper wrote a story about cheerleaders being assigned to football player to pay for every week the school principal apparently -- the bacon. He also declined requests for comment. Most mothers we spoke to tonight up the band was something to cheer about. But some students tell us the big -- no big deal even the cheerleaders are apparently bombed. They can't make anymore."

" I don't know. -- are who are happy. That their daughters aren't being asked to bake some thing for the football player and -- this -- happening your school 6178221969. -- that it's time for Verizon Wireless 'cause -- is not that uncommon. To have a program. Where. That cheerleaders will pick a player or they have what's called the secret sister program. Where like you'll have players that they can cheerleader will be assigned. Assuming that the players on them of the cheerleaders like five guys and -- her job to like make sure that their name gets mentioned in cheers and occasion in the that when the cheerleaders do stuff for the game just what they -- it's Paul called supporting. The team I assume that if there cheerleaders for a female -- the work. That they would do the same thing for the female players because about the cheerleaders. Supporting. The players. Look you're offended the that your daughter is being asked to support. A guy on the field. For being on the field if you're offended. That she's being asked to cheer his name 'cause. You know he's a guy. Liar they cheerleaders at a his that would cheerleaders do as well it's not to support the man. Let's support the player right. And so for example Norwalk high school in Bryan mic -- in high school which -- down the same community. Have their girls -- for senior football players. They have a secret sister system and nobody has complain -- tell -- we were talking about what a loser. -- By the idea of your cheerleader daughter. Baking cupcakes for a player as part of the build up for the game. You're a loser the winner of -- what I'm sorry to say that again. I think mom that they -- actual female type -- and Westport Connecticut. This is another Westport Connecticut mom. Complaining about their daughters participating in this."

" As a mother of three months and I would not be happy if micro or baking cookies to deploy and the -- weren't. --"

" And there it is right there I'd be unhappy if the girls were baking the cookies and not the boys. That's everything that this is the foolishness that was what to buy into that there's no difference. That is no different -- if you need some cookies baked and you had. 24 guides and football uniforms and 24 women and chilling uniforms that it's is that costs toss to the point who's baking the cookies."

" I don't know my strategy often it's just me but in in your high school -- the cheerleaders given the football team more than baked goods generally. Maybe it was just my high school."

" As a member the varsity basketball team I. Can neither confirm nor deny any thing. -- but this is organized. -- for example my son plays on the -- the high school football team in in our town and they do -- the dinner. That's hosted by the parents in the can rotate it around from house to house every week for the guys like on Thursday the Thursday -- for the -- at -- cost of dinner. Let me tell you who's cooking the cost it's the moms the look at the process now I'm a guy who -- I love to cook I will cook. Any time ladies guys anyone else and I'll happily but -- a home they probably -- up against any cookies candies that you might. Generally speaking when you have a group of people together generally speaking it is the case. That the women in the group are going to be the ones with the most experience and interest in cooking generally speaking. And in particular we have a position of cheerleader. Versus football player. What is the problem with that. What is the the problem with doing so that you can't isn't -- one that 'cause your girl and it'll somehow look. Cave men like and so for the -- and the need to avoid looking cave man likely we have to kill common cents."

" And so six or seven aged 2969 if you or a woman who -- some of the moms in Westport. Is offended by this Tom if you're one of the women who thinks that this is wrong."

" I think it's kind of acting and just hit they did tally damage I'm heading to get that they. Got Randolph I think it sounds like a pretty damn -- down."

" A dumb traditional. Dumb thing to do with a silly the cheerleaders this morning the team they pick a senior it's his last year the team. They cook a special cake or something and when it's his turn so he gets on a buyer -- make a terrible thing where these cheerleaders today oh. -- out of operative. They should do Thomas who changes oil as they should they should have oil change Friday for the seniors and the cheerleaders can get under the car and get a Fram oil -- big changes."

" All of its woes -- the would be a -- that -- definitely definitely should they should take the money."

" They've got out disorder running. 67221969. Dean is on 969 good afternoon dean you are on the air."

" I don't like. Brilliantly into the whole report the report says that these cheerleaders are being a sign that the football player so they're gonna think. But they're being marks the -- cookie. You and your okay what that."

" Absolutely they different and so they take a layer every week is apparently the word on that allows seniors but the -- don't like the player at this goal at the player. Thought that it."

" cheerleading coach or whatever she's called the boss -- the administrative boss of the -- picks a player because every senior gets this. As part of the season. So they rotate their -- and other means that that's -- that's because it's not -- out. Love being a player and honesty is honey bunny is supporting the seniors on the."

" Right but the -- that you're explaining it and making it sound like they're if they're gonna be cheerleaders want to do it and they should certainly should be allowed to."

" If there are some who think that maybe it's it's inappropriate or maybe your name before. -- do it."

" and broker community without you don't believe that that's right. Ardidi that is inappropriate demeaning -- out screening."

" Johnny Johnny he's our man did you do so again can't I go out tonight on the cheerleading team that."

" And broccoli is good but that's the thing is keeping its -- would take you would scrap the cheerleader. You know is -- you may need the cheerleaders you know maybe there are certain cheerleader who would choose not to break for a student."

" And well doesn't. Saturday and not -- tees up because I don't."

" Goal -- I went to school and my teacher -- the you now have to carry this student books around because he's a senior and he got that they do I might have a problem with that."

" I I can understand why you would because due in no way stepped up to say I want to support. This senior but these -- his said we want to support. These players analysts -- looking -- a rational reason why it's demeaning for someone to bake somebody -- cake or cookies or whatever. And all all your criticism seems silly to me."

" I think I think I think he didn't mean it is just too strong a word I say yeah. Maybe it comes down to look at what the cheerleaders signed up war would you support."

" The football team. "

" Act that day."

" Yeah you're asking them to do that to do something beyond -- schools. To go home and prepare food for these players."

" But they already have a pasta and salad dinner. That the supporters of the team already may. There are already people doing this for the team and know -- as -- problem -- idea what to do in the dean you're you're DNC pussy footing around. The point you -- it sexist. For a girl she leader to make a -- RKR."

" I happen to protect all the -- ago. You want to do you don't."

" don't get to do what they want to do when you sign up for the cheerleading squad they say we're gonna do this cheer and I don't know anything about years that are. And if you're you're gonna wear this dress."

" I don't like address. Just has been meeting would think it -- year. That's how you feel I've talked about people looking for a problem. People looking for."

" Or reason to be offended. 6178221969. Joe is on 969 good afternoon job."

" I'm. On the opening of the -- is that ridiculous yet another tradition that's been undermined its cheerleaders. -- wanted to do just and their machine was fine with a than that nobody seems to be getting up it's just another tradition has been undermine. Not for example my son plays were division one football game UConn. And are just recently this year they had a fantastic. Cheerleading squad robot or physically fit man and woman Miller whether what the important around standing and that everything it was just amazing to watch. Well our this year as somebody decided about what can they dropped the are these new requirements for gymnastics and they opened an opt for everybody in this whole as a result this entire cheerleading squad. There's now been removed from the salt and now have a bunch of -- Annan and I know -- meanwhile there's hospital a lot -- it's not even called agility."

" Out of what was the problem with saying we're gonna have a requirement if you're gonna be on this Elite Squad. To have be to have Jim this experience -- to pass some basic -- this. Still it was a problem."

" I don't understand I mean that the division one school dispute this team -- on ESP and it's on national television I mean it's absolutely laughable they want from. Augusta really enjoyable cheerleading squad and these could put a lot of -- sort of -- and the athletic. The ability that they were displaying are just incredible and now it's called Ghost Squad."

" Yeah exactly you know does -- a series but the -- spirit and it what you're saying is we had to make room and get rid of the word competence or excellent or talented. I don't win and that's what you do it and -- whenever you see the -- what is the spirit being the the spirit team spirit day we hired you for your spirit. What that means is that the word underneath there used to be competence. Or excellence and they had to erase it silly to put the word spirit right on top of -- six foot 7822969. Kelly says. Michael. Supporting the guys on the field is one thing off the field is something else -- that -- that is expected to do their laundry to."

" Who all -- not. It's their baking a cake that goes with V dinner at the players are already having. The school out of fear of cries of sexism because of -- New England liberals in Connecticut. Like Sandra from over in news talk who's here who probably agrees that this candidate that -- the girls the girls not debate takes quite get the girls go in and build. -- This is traditionally. They had to kill the tradition eight years ago and then. The that new -- never dawns on her that there's been a problem Jesus would do this was a good thing to do all the girls a bigger thing though The Who steps in the the government the bureaucrats the school administrator. You can't exist anymore it's demeaning to women doesn't bother anybody that the women you don't feel demeaned the that's the moms. Of a certain age -- With a certain. Attitude -- were the ones being demeaned at 617822969. In my program. And -- time."

" Roll. Them. I Leo Michael Kraft told the call that specialize. And I get that message. I'm but all -- about Michael. And the longer that cool cool cool cool cool and are not confident that -- I don't do that but he had met and didn't. Well I got active window -- couldn't help but think they've had independent. It yeah Barack yeah and I'm the government it is an -- movement -- into message. Like go play them out of side please excuse -- message. I I'm --"

" 53 year old Republican. -- not a fugitive from justice since 1963. 107 year old I did something for him to Pearl White label and -- from my mattresses. So it's only there was something about -- that -- statue of limitations. And I don't believe these government sting operation work. That these days so let me follow Obama I didn't do it who. -- I like Skype button I -- that is -- is critical. I look -- love my country. Cool yeah he didn't volunteer during Vietnam. War. What people already in the public servant. And possibly but. Able to pull it."

" pop it read that might have gotten. But -- hit."

" Some of the message STV."

" The benefit to -- six. Could certainly do -- don't think pathetic you know and I think that. It's. It."

" but then yeah. And it's."

" 607 agent July -- Our own confession hotline as you know President Obama announced that the people on his. His team are -- open minded free thinkers what did you gather and train their children missing on his name and refused to watch Fox News while you are mindless adults."

" Democrats heard a -- bunch. You know the other side they just got to. Sometimes -- told. --"

" That's right 617822196. Nights sleeping Abrams W if you want someone help me think budget your money Rick Schaffer is a -- to -- the money show them the world's most amazing. Let me show ever in the history of the universe I didn't -- in my view of the the professional -- line is a great I degraded -- revenue great great time people are making it work. It's still 43. And Michael Graham --"

" How high school Dell did -- genetic. Staples high school. -- that the securely squad reinstituted and old tradition around for awhile and that that. The approximately twenty each of the proxies -- girls -- cake for senior football player at you weekly Thursday pasta dinner. That. -- the team held on Thursday nights leading up to the big game as part of way to honor the seniors and showed their support for the team. And the reaction it astonishing. These superintendent. Ordered them to stop. When he found out about it because against the rules of the school system. Because it's sexist. And and to me the most bizarre part the -- is a completely happy to do it. It's the -- were upset and that's sexist I be mad at my daughter to edit. Peril -- Cecil Italy early eighties. You know you wonder why does -- you wonder why guys a certain age are chasing women of not a certain age you wonder why that. Hostility and invective and thin skinned knee jerk and ready to be offended. Attitude. Kicks in now I don't know these women stand on Roman Polanski. You know the a feminist majority group defended him so I don't know they would stand up and defend cupcakes as well 6178221969. DD is in Franklin. 96 and I think cynical."

" Welcome -- Michael former cheerleader. And I find it demeaning -- going back in the early eighties and don't we put -- to Dylan Dylan was saying you know we didn't have individually signing up for a player by. With a lot of pressure to do it among the cheerleading captain. And you know I do for a while back of the bus after the game and eventually give them. -- And I really think they appreciated it and they'd say you know the -- would say don't know what's the cheerleaders for the proud that. And that doesn't future these -- the out of pocket he's expected by."

" You did give them the cookies."

" Because they're gonna -- year old girl you know real amateur if I bought did I really enjoyed it. That part of it yeah what does that say about that. I'm sure -- think is actually get out there he is trying to you know trauma experienced. What kind about the game and that's a different but. Back door peeking into don't provide maximum can do it don't. Do it in the thought of team spirit. And didn't."

" For example you know people descend from me I want to give them something a -- something what efforts to get flowers some something. -- win -- having a bad. -- time I wanna give them a little something -- seems to -- such a natural thing. The cheerleading squad supporting particularly this case seniors and saying you know whatever -- is your one -- be special you know player Joe. The other maybe you were always a third stringer and you never but did you hear you got here's your take the cheerleaders did it there you go. So the idea that somebody would be offended by that. This seems bizarre and."

" You know the truth about forcing children to volunteer. Should go without the kind of severe heart in -- split but it's this pressure that you feel completely and then. Topped off with it you know it's absolutely the gratitude of the players that -- now. Yeah I mean I can understand why they're a little over the top."

" Did you show your appreciation to the players in and other cheerleading traditional."

" Absolutely --"

" Here that's non. -- on 6178221969. Chris is on 969 good afternoon Chris."

" I don't. You. All what and it cheerleader. But I won the virus but my other -- who complain. -- that that nobody complain about it can't it locked in a world. Now -- everybody gets so easily offended nowadays I think they should just a little thicker and and."

" Well Chris -- and -- up oh now you're in trouble Chris how well I don't -- you don't wanna tell this Westport Connecticut mam to man up."

" As a mother of three girls and -- and I would not be happy if micro or baking cookies -- the toys in the -- weren't. Thinking -- the --"

" You -- is here the foot tapping. Even though it's not in the audio as a mother of three girls I just what you would be fairly upset this what I'll."

" Who leads. Who -- these really."

" Good -- was gonna John John is on 969 good afternoon."

" Stable like I'm the prize it's art not a lot of people enraged about out opal could do their ports MLB. I from the football team to play the typically male dominated -- of focus."

Only women should -- then of course there's a couple of bars of put -- and have him in guys are getting on BC's business yeah there's a long line. In women are waiting in line it it's a very good thing when a woman rides a mechanic."

" That you're on another there are just certain things that you'd rather see a woman and other things that women. Should that only women should be allowed to -- guys just don't do it right and it in if you're afraid in this PC arena. Where the superintendent of schools -- Westport has -- these cheerleaders will not let them -- Doesn't have they want to or not they -- are not allowed to bake cookies -- treats for the senior players as football team it's a violation of policy. In that arena -- young people are nervous about many things if you want to is admit. Late female or female.

" Let's -- that politics is not and yeah there."

But it might to year old daughter became a cheerleader in the cheerleaders tradition was.

So the guys -- cheerleading girls cars in the -- girls I gave a baked goods to you in all the players. And what's it was our problem. Of course the dude I leave it like I said common sense interject in the conversation 67822969. You'll do call it sexist if you want the so it's gonna be bake in the stuff it's the girls. And it everybody knows this is true it's literally hundreds of thousands of years of human evolution it's just true and pretending. That is not true.

" I have Michael right. Mr. officer whatever you say -- it's ours is flashing badges that -- I'll bay immediately as soon as I see the badges 67221969. -- Tom I got an email from Chris Horner the environmental writer who was at Wellesley last night the results show this yesterday. That a great turnout at -- the Wellesley College students were thrilled they need the support from normal people. And she said quite few people came -- we heard about a Michael -- show had a great program. Some faculty member who repeatedly refused to appear with because they -- wanted a discussion. So a whack job -- Al Gore type would do it showed up in the audience. The starts challenging him and then picks -- I would in the storms out of the room actually does the -- not gonna stand here and listen to this and stops out there -- promising me. That when they have the video from Wellesley that will get us we can post and Michael Graham backup you absolutely classic and thank you to everybody. Who took part time job that's terrific in another plea. From the Michael -- every normal person listening. Because as you know I do talk radio for normal people I'm not one myself but admire you tremendously. Please think about running for office here in Massachusetts. If you are going crazy because of the new regulations because of the ridiculous taxes if you figured out that the Governor Patrick is bragging about the fact. That he hadn't spent our stimulus money he's using a for a long term projects which is why instead of adding. The jobs that we were promised instead. The Massachusetts lost I think 68000. Jobs in the stimulus to affect. Please run and there's a candidate school for you to attend the Foxboro GOP is sponsoring it is partisan like the one I did. It is partisan that's fine holly -- shot still to be there the tools that she presents to use the techniques on how to run for. Whether it's selectmen state led states and it whatever they work for anybody independent doesn't matter. It's a great -- November 1. You can get the details on my blog just search for November 1 or contact the Foxboro GOP but please run please challenged incumbent. We absolutely need to do this. If we are gonna take back -- state 6178221969. Pound that is temper -- Verizon Wireless customers. -- just tuning in a west -- school system has a rule that says cheerleaders cannot. Look for the football players to traditional lot of the schools they do it on you know the game dinner -- told -- they're -- at the cheerleaders say their final and it's their parents are mothers who are outraged. Let's go to DD is on 969 good afternoon."

" And I don't. I've got one simple comment to make -- got more playing on the footballer of the basketball team it would be absolutely no aliens not necessary and they're just on. So how but the -- want I mean it'd carry underground. In a few of them make cupcakes. They kicked up by far my camping in the cupcakes."

" And you're not on the team not making you not that I'm so clearly related to your standing on the team. In that makes common sense complete common sense Claudia is on 969 afternoon Claudia."

" Hi I'm like -- I truly think you're missing a little bit of -- out. I have to say I'm the cheerleader. At what ever -- current abate a single thing for anybody and."

" As it traditionally team -- not."

" Now it and I don't know lie it has the trauma tradition and frankly. Well I don't think you are you okay. Well -- sure they don't actually deployed or you don't believe in what most -- actually ever --"

" I have met Arnold I've met Paul Prudhomme and and I and I cooked at the normal school cooking and a lot of but the fact is if you take a group of a hundred men and a group of -- hundred women and leave them each alone in the kitchen. I'm gonna go eat with the women because that's the way that is the development of the human species."

" Well ironically I think everyone -- Shas and there are. Successful people now."

" Yes they are there -- a -- to do with the the business model of cooking as opposed to the actual food. For preparation. Well I mean -- salt. I don't know what the -- sexist means the contrary -- the the opposite sex is I guess would be stupid. Because -- saying there are no differences between women and men there are. Absolutely. Differences between women and men beyond the physical there are mental psychological and so. It is and -- so what's the problem was saying boys are playing football girls are cooking cupcakes what's wrong with."

" Only problem happy that this is that. I have a daughter I have a son -- doing my feel like that the well initially the site. I think it's great want to share that great I don't -- yet they Budapest but certainly it will cities. Boy I appreciate it that they can barely keep up the."

" The point. -- what's in the words subservient I understand the the you know the in the implication what you're saying in their their con this context here. President but -- the whole point of the cheerleading is observers like the pep band was the pet NL playing and playing because now it's time for a concert from your outstanding musicians knows we're here to cheer on and promote. The team and they're doing it. If you will basically want to use a metaphor there working for the G Michael -- tended to my B 69 Boston com."
