Question speaks for itself.
No other country has them and I think this film went straight to DVD in most countries outside of the USA.
Just wondering if most Americans think cheerleading is necessary and AFAIK most people outside the USA think it's pointless and don't get it.
I always assumed that the 2 major sports that have them - football and Basketball - have a lot of stoppages, so the cheerleading squad was used to keep the crowd involved, especially in the case of football.
Its interesting though that they don't have them in Baseball - wonder why?
Not all football teams have cheerleaders though. I can't think of any other team than the Chicago Bears offhand, but they used to have cheerleaders, and got rid of them somewhere down the line. They may be the only team that DOESN'T have them though.
EMOTICONS ARE BACK! YAY!
If you're having trouble getting people to come to your football games, putting scantily-clad young people out there to jump around may help. Sex sells, and good old Yankee ingenuity understood that.

@Stickman38What countries?
Do you think Europe is the only continent that has countries?

I am from the US but you can also find cheerleaders in Japan, Canada, Mexico, China and a long list of south american countries have them. It is a bigger thing in the US but yeah, other countries have them.

I'm from the UK and my old school has them. They started bringing them in just after I left and now they perform at football, rugby, basket ball games etc. My sister went to the same school as I after I left and she told me about it and one of her friends was a cheerleader though I don't know if they competed.
I think my college had them but I'm not 100% sure! never was one to follow school sports teams lol
It’s immortality, my darlings
Cheerleading is associated primarily with American-style football, and with basketball to a lesser degree. Other sports, not so much. You generally won't see cheerleaders at baseball games, tennis matches, and so forth. Well, you might see them as spectators, but they're unlikely to have the same sort of participatory role as you'd see them at a football game or basketball game.
Since the most popular sport outside of the USA is soccer, a sport that is rarely associated with cheerleaders, it's hardly surprising that most other countries don't really have cheerleading to any great degree.
As to it being pointless, I would say no more or less so than whatever sport they would be cheering for. Soccer isn't *NECESSARY*. Neither is American-style Football or any other sport.
Football is the superior American sport, or sport in general, because of cheerleading.
Thank you for your time.
(I have an autographed 1985 poster of the L.A. Rams's cheerleaders. Some almost came VER close to kissing me.)
Amanda Bynes is hot and Lindsay Lohan is not.

American Football would be popular without cheerleaders. And why not call it something else if they are doing group acrobatics? The image of cheerleader is just there for T*ts & *ss.
shareI rather ask why not every country has cheerleaders?
I live in Europe and I never met cheerleaders nor have them in my school (or any school I know). It would had been so cool. I'm a male and I did sport and I wish we had cheerleaders around. Would had been nice at the time. Oh well...
This is something every country should have. :)
I also never got the point of cheerleading, although it has been "imported" in my country (Greece) by a couple of basketball teams. It was never quite popular here though.
