In some American sports, a cheerleader is one of a group of women who lead the cheering of the team's fans. Traditionally they wear skirts above knee length, and perform routines in which they wave pom-poms, and often participate in athletic tumbling (floor gymnastics) and lifts.
Since the introduction of overtly sexy cheerleading into pro sports in the early-to-mid 1970s, cheerleaders for pro sports teams often wear scanty uniforms (very short skirts or hotpants, and crop tops showing the midriff and cleavage).
Because of their style of dress, cheerleaders are frequently an object of fetish.
