Justice is Served for Many WI Athletes

This ruling was handed down to protect an inexperienced 16 year old cheerleader and a school (district?) from being sued by a cheerleader that had a nasty fall a few years back. In WI, you can't sue an opposing player if you were injured playing a contact sport (e.g. hockey, football). Thus, categorizing cheerleading as a contact sport protects the teammates (other cheerleaders) and the schools from being sued.
