Banned From Cheerleading

After watching this video on Jamie Burns, I feel like although she had a pace maker for her heart, she should be able to keep cheerleading and stay on the team. If she has been as athletic as she has over the past years with her heart condition, and not had any problems while being on cheerleading, she should have of equal opportunity as the rest of her team mates regarding her situation. Her doctor even permitted her with release forms to stay on the team and even gave proof to how she would be able to cheer even with her pace maker. Although a reporter agreed that she shouldn't be liable, I believe that since she has already came all this way, that she should have the chance to stay on the team and keep her healthy lifestyle.
