I respect those teams that have cheerleaders, just as I'm glad our team doesn't have them. But it's not while they are cheering that bothers me. At one tournament this year the entire squad was quarralling, and since they were sitting next to us we "enjoyed" the entire argument. When feelings were hurt some of the girls came and sat on our boys' stuff. They didn't pay attention to when matches were, so they were up and down the bleachers, pausing in front of us to discuss hair, makeup, and other important things, causing us to ask them numerous times to please move so we could see the mats. Some teams have cheerleaders that are respectful of other towns and their teams, but there are several who seem to feel that showing support for their team means being disrespectful to other towns.

On another note, I have seen some of the most respectful wrestlers this year, and I applaud you! It is nice to see common courtesy!
