Now, I'll admit one of the main reasons I didn't make the cheer leading squad was because I could NOT do a split! So, I'm feeling the pain of some of one young lady at a Denver high school who was squealing in pain after the coach and a few others forced her to do a split at a cheer leading camp. The teen did suffer an injury. Painful, but even more painful to watch. Now, police are investigating Ozell Williams of East High School in Denver for his tactics.
