Officials disqualified five Minnesota high school dance teams after their symbolic protest at the state finals over a rival team's alleged plagiarized championship routine in what was basically the exact plot from the classic and very great high school cheerleading movie, Bring It On.
The allegation is that the drill team from Utah's Copper Hills High performed an incredible routine last year which Faribault then plagiarized and performed this year. One theory is that Faribault ripped it directly from Copper Hills after seeing it on YouTube; another is that Austin High School, another Minnesota squad, saw Copper Hills's routine on YouTube, stole bits of it, and then performed a new routine in a competition earlier this season. In that very competition, Faribault performed after Austin, and were so taken with it that they jacked Austin's routine—which, of course, wasn't completely theirs to begin with.
The Minnesota sectional tournaments took place a week ago, at which Faribault performed the allegedly plagiarized routine. Competing schools went nuts and took their concerns to the governing body, the Minnesota State High School League. The MSHSL ruled last week that Faribault's routine was legit, and didn't disqualify the team from the state finals. Faribault won first place after a unanimous decision from judges at last night's state finals, after which the remaining five teams stood together in solidarity against the result. State officials retaliated by disqualifying every other team and refusing to announce any further awards. It made for a striking scene:

I'm from MN and saw it on the news. It's not cheerleading, it's a dance team. Our dance teams are always whining about how they are a true sport. They don't wear school colors, they make up their own mascot name, and now they pull a stunt like this. How can they be taken seriously? The MSHSL investigated the alleged plagiarism and sent letters to all the teams that Faribault was in compliance with the rules. The coaches of the dance teams and the "athletes" should be suspended for their poor display of sportsmanship.
What's next, football teams protesting because someone copied one of their plays?
