(though to be fair, canadian football has cheerleaders too)...
but basically, token T & A from the land of the sexually repressed.
perhaps meant to fill the down time from watching the athletes in games with too many stoppages
are there pom-pom girls in aussie rules, rugby, or soccer?

yes, i suppose. but here, in a place that is warm about 99% of the year, i see plenty of skin, so i guess seeing girls in skimpy outfits just really isnt that big a deal anymore. maybe if i was 13 or 14, but come on...give it up already. no one gives a shit about your "spirit" and how high you can jump.
maybe it's also that my school doesnt have cheerleaders and i've gotten used to that, but seeing other schools with them makes it seem almost as if im back in high school again. the whole thing seems quite immature...

No, yes, no.
Rugby is the most similar of the three to American football. Some might say it's because both games are so devoid of skill on the part of the players.

I mean, can you go watch a baseball game w/o eating a hotdog? It's a collective experience, you see.
They seem kind of silly to me.
I have respect for the ones who do those competitions though-those girls (and some guys) work!
In the NFL I see them as part of the spectacle-and not one I mind at all.

Cheerleaders are great. I get irritated by TV cameramen shoving their cameras up their vaginas before going off to a commercial break, but that's not the cheerleaders' faults.
They add a lot of fun to the game for those actually in attendance, especially when the UT pom girls wear chaps. HELL YEAH!

If you can respect pro wrestling, you can respect cheerleading: part cheesy acting, part athletic performance.
what about the guys running around with banners of the school letters? i suppose they get a varsity letter too...
You can finally buy it at Amazon.com!!

I guess there's no way in hell I can respect cheerleading then.
At least when I watch people make asses of themselves with little clothing on they are fit young women.

No. But I think you do.
Bad way of putting it.
Back on topic. Cheerleading is a fossil from those days when schools lacked sports for girls, but the idea of them has become so ingrained into the American psyche (and fantasy) that you put it next Mom and applepie in the American iconography.
Anyways, what hetero-male can't appreciate the idea of attractive young women in skimpy clothing jumping around. Doesn't sound half bad to me. Hell, they're having a good time and if the game is poor than they ensure that I have some eye candy.

If everyone was to mirror the cheerleaders of alliance's school the gay porn industry would go wild.
hey, those are yell leaders, not cheerleaders.
besides, i have never claimed to feel any different about them. my favorite non-football related part of the football games is Rev. you just got a lazy, stinkin cow. i heard bevo's retiring. you guys planning on steaks for the first meal of the spring semester?
