Why are there no cheerleaders in football?

There are no cheerleaders in football matches for the following reasons:

1, the football field is very wide, which creates obstacles that are not conducive to cheerleading performance. The audience is far away, there are few cheerleaders, and there is no sense of existence on the big court, let alone visual impact. A large number of people is almost like group gymnastics. It takes time to assemble the whole team and withdraw from the field. The cheerleaders may just stand up and go down.

2. There may be substitutes warming up or spraying water during the intermission. For the football match, the intermission is a good time to adjust. Sometimes, in order to play better in the second half, the substitute will warm up with a ball at halftime, and sometimes the stadium needs water spraying for maintenance, which creates some difficulties for the cheerleaders.

3. There are deep cultural reasons. Cheerleading is a typical product of American sports and is closely related to American pop culture. In the mainstream culture of the United States, sports is more of a performance, especially a commercial performance that integrates entertainment. However, sports that are mainly rooted in other regions and sports culture is formed in other regions think that the essence of sports is competition, and the audience appreciates themselves as competitions, so they don't pay attention to the performance content of cheerleading.

The origin of cheerleading

The history of cheerleading can be traced back to primitive tribal times. When the soldiers came back from hunting, people cheered and encouraged them. The formal development of cheerleading began at the end of19th century. 19 In the 1970s, Princeton University established its first club to create an exciting atmosphere for sports competitions. "Cheerleading" refers to onomatopoeia in Chinese, which vividly describes the group cheering in the stadium.
