Madness

The Pop Warner Football League offers national championship events. Teams who have won regional competitions gather at DisneyWorld to compete for the national championship. It can cost a team more than $50,000 to compete. Some teams pay more as they bring along their cheerleaders, who have a four-minute competition with other cheerleaders. Many of the teams are from the inner city and the parents of these kids really can't afford it but, if fund raising among their neighbors is inadequate, go into debt so their kids can go.

The deal that the Pop Warner organization signed with Disney requires the teams to stay at DisneyWorld (which is not cheap) and buy tickets to the Disney parks.

Some people need to have their head examined.
