The case against Amanda was built on unclear evidence, relying on flawed interpretations of the evidence and incorrect judgments.

What I would say sets competitive cheerleading apart from other sports is the combination of physical and mental pain you experience. We cannot compare sideline cheerleading to competitive cheerleading due to the growth the sport has done within the past twenty years.
