Cheerleading in the National Football League has been around for about 50 years, starting in the 1960s when the Baltimore Colts established the first cheerleading squad in the NFL. Several other teams followed suit and established squads as well, but it was the Dallas Cowboys that made the NFL cheerleaders we know today with the revealing costumes and dance routines. It was at this time that cheerleading became very popular in the NFL.

Along with the notoriety received by cheerleading teams, we find that, like almost everything, there were cheerleaders who stood out and made such an impression that they went on to do other things and became very popular in show business. Like Melissa Rycroft, for example, who was a former Dallas Cowboys cheerleader who appeared on season 13 of the reality show “The Bachelor.” She was cast over Molly Malaney only to be dumped a short time later. She then went on to fill in for Nancy O’dell on “Dancing with the Stars” when O’dell was injured during practice.

Probably one of the most famous cheerleaders in the NFL is Teri Hatcher, who started out as a cheerleader for the Forty-Niners and rose to fame on shows like “Desperate Housewives” and also played Lois Lane on Lois & Clark, among others. stuff. In fact, there have been a number of NFL cheerleaders who went on to other things like acting, broadcasting news, and other professions.

So, as you can see, the myth that cheerleaders are “bloated heads” is not true, as many do other things as well. For those who may be interested in becoming a cheerleader, they should know that most cheerleaders earn very little in the form of pay, however the position can be a stepping stone into other areas, as noted above.

NFL cheerleading isn’t all about dancing and sexy costumes anymore, though that’s still very much around. Cheerleading squads have now evolved to engage in activities that not only help build the public image of their sponsoring team, but also participate in many community events such as fundraising for various projects. They primarily represent the charitable events sponsored by the NFL team they are associated with and make significant contributions of time and effort to raise funds for those in need in their local community.

The cheerleaders cheer on the team’s home games, but rarely go on the road with them, instead spending most of the team’s time away practicing and participating in the aforementioned community events.

Being a cheerleader on any professional team requires a lot of commitment and most of them require cheerleaders to have full-time jobs elsewhere. Other than that, the only real requirements are that you can practise, and of course you must be able to dance, although no formal dance training is necessary.

In general, cheerleading teams have gone from simply cheering for the team to doing great things in the community and for the people in that community.
