  • Competitive Cheerleading 2X episodes

    I was very surprised to learn that the 2 competitive (college?) cheerleading organizations can NOT get together and work together and come up with something workable—synergy? Competitive cheer would gain so much by doing so. Does it all come down to money? Possibly media coverage/rights? Think of the greater impact it would have on young girls/women — or are we still actually look at the situation through men’s/male eyes? Sad 😔
