You've got to be kidding me

A brawl breaks out at a pompom competition. A pompom competition!

A scuffle broke out at a District pompom competition during the weekend, and a Southeast Washington woman was arrested and charged with hitting a teenager with a trophy.

The fighting Saturday came after the announcement of judges' decisions at the music and dance contest, at Ballou Senior High School for teams from District recreation centers.

"A brawl broke out in the gym," said Bridgette Rhodes, whose daughter performed in the competition. "People were fighting. Somebody threw cans. Somebody threw a trophy. It was just out of control."
Although it doesn't explicitly say it, it appears that Tammy Bryant (who was arrested on assault charges) was unhappy with the judges decision. A POMPOM COMPETITION.
