Cheerleaders are like pizza, I've never met one I didn't love!

I have always assumed that cheerleading was a sport dominated by women. Well, you know what they say about people who assume...

I was very surprised to learn that at its inception back in the mid 1800s, cheerleading was actually an all-male sport. It wasn't until World War I when men were sent off to fight in the war that women filled in as the cheerleaders. The rest, as they say, is history.

Oh, and I think that you'll be interested to know that Dwight D. Eisenhower, Franklin Roosevelt, and Ronald Reagan were all cheerleaders!
