>What does 'best male cheerleader support' mean?

I thought, this being English, that any four nouns and/or adjectives can be understood when put together.

As I see it, the purpose of cheerleading is to, well, lead the cheers, i.e. to animate the fans, specially during the boring parts of the game. Now in popular culture the high school population is divided into, roughly, four groups: jocks, cheerleaders, nerds and nobodies - the fourth group usually acting as followers of one of the first two.

But this is popular culture stereotype which, I presume, doesn't exist in real life. So not all the important sports teams in schools are male - and not all the best cheerleading teams are female. I actually expect that these are evenly distributed - no matter what Hollywood is trying to sell. I'm just looking for a proof that reality has beaten Hollywood.
