Another way schools can cash in on fan fanaticism.
Okay, as a former cheerleader with Stanford, U of Cincinnati, and Universal Cheerleaders Association, I'm going to offer my 2 cents about running with the flag that pretty much nobody cares about but me, but here goes:
When you run with the flag, you need to run with your upper arm completely locked and pushed forward and the lower arm bent. By doing so, you drive the flag forward, the flag stays horizontal, and the pole bends to your power. Most flag bearers run with both arms bent so that the flag tilts at an angle and trails behind their body which makes it look like the bearer is being pulled backwards by the flag. It looks weak.
Maybe now something can finally be done.
