I'm just really curious about something......why is there so much drama in cheerleading??? I mean there isnt all this on the girls basketball teams and they are very competitive also...So why is it so mean in cheerleading????

I don't know. But it seems that any sport that is judged (ie. figure skating, cheerleading, etc.) has more of this type attitude. I guess it is because you can't settle it on the floor in interactive competition. Just a guess!! I really don't know though.

I can agree with both of you all... although after reading a few threads, in various forums, there seems to be a healthy level of intensity in all facets of athletic "competition". I also understand the power of the written word... someone can say something verbally and because of "tone" and "inflection" the impact is totally different from the impact of a written message in black and white.

i think its because its so competitive
and everyone has to be the best but idk!

Yeah, cheerleading is really competitive, and everybody makes perceptions about other squads before they even see them compete!!!!
