Cheerleading is a girl thing.  It's always weird to see a person of one gender in a sport that's traditionally dominated by the other gender.  There aren't many male field hockey players.  There aren't many female football players. 

There aren't many male cheerleaders.  Well actually, there are, but they're mostly found in college football.  The thing with male cheerleaders that makes them different than other males in female-dominated sports is that they're gigantic and they're fearful.  You can't really sit around and make fun of them.  They can crush you.  All you can do is say, "Huh, there's a male cheerleader.  I don't understand him.  But I respect him." 

My question is this:  How does one decide to become a male cheerleader?  There must be some other motivation besides touching female cheerleaders' butts (though judging from the behavior of typical males, this can be argued).  Seriously, where do these people come from?  Are they football players who didn't make the team but still want to be close to the sport?  Are they gym rats who just enjoy lifting things?  I'd really like to know. #sports
