Many problems..

The reason that mean cheerleader wants her to never cheer again is because she knows how good Britney is, and she doesn't want Britney leading another squad to victory at the next competition.

Winnie is a spoiled brat who doesn't have to run anything by her parents, calling in sick would be nothing to her. Her parents probably give donations to the school, maybe a big check to the library every year. Who knows? The main thing is Winnie can miss class without repercussions, that's believable.

There does seem to be a race element to the movies, but that's not necessarily racist. In the two that I have seen, the original and this one, they have the best team win, which were the teams featuring minorities. This represents triumph over diversity, teams with less resources coming out on top. That's inspirational, not racist.

Krumping rocks, nuff said.

They are superficial girls, of course they would not like a girl who's a few pounds overweight, what bitchy high school girl does? Big girls are always looked down on by the snooty thin rich kids. That's high school, and life, that's the way the cookie crumbles. Overweight people are discriminated against their whole lives, fortunately for them, the U.S. is the fattest nation in the world, pretty soon everyone will be fat and they will fit in just fine. Majority rules you know.

As for Amber, she would do whatever Winnie says, cheerleading is everything to her and she won't let her squad down. Haven't you seen gymnasts competing with all sorts of tape and bandages? Athletes must edure pain to win, that's been going on since the first olympic games.

I hope this clears things up for you :)
