There is a big difference between womens and mens sports teams. For the most part, members of womens teams truly like each other as teammates. We compete hard but refrain from the immature taunting of our opponents' family, religous and ethnic backgrounds (see mens' sports).
Certainly there were no cliques of which you refer.. I would think that you of all people would recognize an overblown fantasy perpetuated by uneducated male sports fans.

As a former ball player, I resent that you say we men taunt. I prefer to call it gaining a psychological advantage.
