DENVER - A senior instructor at the University of Colorado Medical School took to Twitter to mock teenage cheerleaders who were seen screaming in pain while being forced into the splits.<\/p>\n
The 9Wants to Know team was the first to report on the incident on Wednesday. The video shows cheerleaders from East High School in Denver crying as their coach - OzellWilliams, who's known for his tumbling at Broncos and CU football games - and fellow teammates hold them in position.<\/p>\n

Every athlete goes through some difficult pain. If you cannot deal with it mommy is always at home.<\/p>\n
\"Every athlete goes through some difficult pain. If you cannot deal with it mommy is always at home.\"<\/p>\n
The University of Colorado told Next that Dr. Mosher was not speaking for the university or the medical school on his personal Twitter account when he posted that message.<\/p>\n
The doctor has since changed his account name, and he declined to comment when we asked.<\/p>\n

UPDATE: Dr. Mosher reached out to Next on Twitter Thursday evening to issue an apology. He writes:<\/p>\n
I'm SINCERELY sorry for that tweet. I hadn't read the news story. I apologize for any pain caused by this uninformed, unsympathetic comment.<\/p>\n
