Im late on this, so not going to get into it
that much, but.....the cheerleader isnt the leader of the team. I would agree
with you 100 uhndred percent if it was the coach saying these
things.

That's not even close to the point and you
know it. If I stand for an interview and tell them that I prefer to listen
to 1st Baptist's choir, ours is OK, but my heart is over at 1st Baptist then the
members of my choir are going to be demoralized. It may be that they can
overcome it (as in your description below...the football team may very well
be able to overcome the slight), but it doesn't change the fact that my words
were a demoralizing influence.
My example is no different. As leader
of the choir, I have a responsibility for the morale of the choir.
Negative comments from me will reduce that morale. A cheerleader, sissy or
not, has the responsibility for the morale of the players and the fans.
Negative comments from that person will reduce morale. That is what
demoralizing is...the reducing of morale.
It's not a question of how much it was
reduced, or even a question of whether it actually did or not. The real
question is whether the comments could reduce morale. I say that yes they
could. Therefore it is demoralizing, and sufficient to cause the guy to
lose his position on the squad.
As I said, had I been the cheering coach he
would have been sent home before the 3rd quarter began.
