Taping their Tralalas
Abstract:
Despite evidence otherwise, our Yell Leaders are not "dancing queens". Instead of blowing up the incident, A&M should allow the video to blow over. ...

Couldn't agree more. Much ado about nothing. Rusty Thompson is a great guy and has served A&M well for too long to be treated that way.

I agree that this is a non-issue, but if your aim was to encourage everyone to quit talking about it, you just failed miserably. I and all my friends had no idea this video existed until your opinion piece trumpeted it loudly across campus in the newspaper today. It's like telling someone, "Quit calling me names, you $%#^@*%$!!".

Yeah... let's not talk about how other schools have dance squads that dance suggestively more or less in their underwear in front of thousands of people. Leave the guys alone. We've all done stuff like that when we're with friends. I don't think they should have had to apologize at all; I'm glad to see they have a sense of humor.

The lapse in judgement error is not that they taped a funny video where they danced around, but that they actually posted it to the internet.
P.S. If they get that bored on long trips, perhaps we should replace them with some students that do not.

Seriously? Replace them for being bored? Lighten up... do you expect them to sit in stoney silence for however long that trip took?

I found this video hilarious. It's young college students jamming out to silly songs. I'm sorry it offended some, but this is one thing I think should be over looked.
No one was hurt. So I say no harm no foul. Yell leaders are apart of the student body just like me or anyone else. I believe they act, think, dress, talk, feel the exact same as anyone else. They apologized now let it go. This hasn't defamed Aggieland near the current actions warrant. No one should lose their job because of documenting college kids being college kids
THANKS & GIG 'EM

Why is Texas A&M so worried about the video demeaning their masculinity? I thought we were "encouraging" diversity. I do believe that is the only thing I learned at my NSC.
All the video showed is that they're normal people, regular students, just like us.
