>>>Out of curiosity... where can I find a list of schools whose girls' basketball teams have the best male cheerleader support? There must have been a competition of sorts somewhere, or at least a vote on some website.

>>What does 'best male cheerleader support' mean?

>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.

The highschool groups don't exist like they used to. Today there are mostly either preppies, real gangstas, wanna be gangstas, jocks (who fall into cat1 or cat2), rednecks, and everyone else. And today, every school is different. Not the same groups anymore or at different schools...
