I don't see how it's a legal play, yet a cheerleader is a person not an object.

Bryan:
To answer your question: Yes.
But the real discussion we all should be having is this: Let's change Bryan's play to this: "A1 is falling out of bounds and touches a cheerleader who is standing too close to the boundary line." How many of us, even bald old geezers like me, Bob, Jeff, Tony, and Billy, would, without really thinking have a bang-bang an out-of-bounds violation by A1?
Let the discussion begin!
