response: Did you know cheerleading began in the late 1700s? It was male students, then.
original_response: Yes that is correct. Cheerleading began so long ago but males wanted no part in it then.
history: I love watching cheerleading competitions. The flyers scare me a bit though. Oh my, cheerleading can involve some intense physical activity. It's pretty risky. A cheerleader from Southern Illinois University fractured her back and hit her head from falling from a pyramid stunt. She's fully recovered now though,thank goodness. Yikes! Those one-to-three-minute routines can have tumbling, jumping, and stunting. I think the movie from 2000 Bring It On helped to make it popular too. There are over 100000 participants all over the world competing the the sport.
knowledge: Cheerleading began during the late 18th century with the rebellion of male students.
