True story!

Although in some cases, it's one and the same

I wondered the same thing! A supposed training technique to teach cheerleaders to do the splits. All over the local news in Denver.

There's videos on the web, just Google Denver cheerleader - it's tough to watch though.

Okay, I saw it. Wow. The girl was PLEADING with them to stop. She wound up reporting it, and now she's being ostracized by her own peers on Facebook for doing so. SMH

Saw that. Brutal. Normally don't they train their bodies to do that? Not force it. Kids are rougher than they were in my day.
