I couldn't make this stuff up.

A Michigan couple is crying unsportsmanlike conduct after their 6-year-old daughter was removed from a flag football cheerleading team because they complained that one of the team's chants was too risqu�.

Jennifer and Duane Tesch, of Madison Heights, say their daughter, Kennedy, was unanimously voted off of the Madison Heights Wolverines flag football cheerleading team during a team meeting Tuesday night. The meeting was held to discuss concerns the Tesches voiced last month regarding one of the team's cheers:

"Our backs ache, our skirts are too tight, we shake our booties from left to right."

But instead of seeing their concerns with the cheer resolved, the Tesches saw their little girl booted from the team.

I think she was booted because her parents were first cousins. Fox news often makes up stories. this sounds like one of them

And this is news? They have organisations and committees for this? Wow, people take this so seriously.

Stop, relax, breathe deep, and get a life people.

Harsh crowd, but at least they would let her come back next season (on probation!)
