They jump and dance in front of the crowd and shout the name of their team. Their job is to excite the crowd. Everybody makes a lot of noise. They want their team to win the game.

The first cheerleader was a man. In 1898, Johny Campbell jumped in front of the crowd and the University of Minnesot and shouted for his team. This was the first organized shout. For the next 32 years cheerleader were men only.

Today cheerleaders work in teams. They practice shouts, dances and athletic shows. Often the women work separately from the men. But cheerleaders are most exiting when men and women work together. The men throw the women high in the air and catch them. The team members climb on each others shoulders to make a pyramid. They shout and dance too. It's like fireworks. Cheerleaders have their own contests. Contests for cheerleaders are held. And the crowd shouts. They want thus Cheerleaders to win.

The Importance of Sport.

Sport is an important part of today's society and plays a large role in many people's likes. Now more than ever, sport events dominate headlines and athletes have become national heroes. The question is does sport deserve this kind of interest and attention? From a social standpoint, sport plays a positive role in uniting people from different social backgrounds in support of their favourite team. This can help people understanding and tolerance of each other. However, just as sport unites people so it can divide them, as it often demonstrated by crowd violence at football matches.

As far as education is concerned, sport is an important part of every child's schooling, as it plays a big role in both their physical and mental development. It teaches children how to work as part of a team and cooperate with others, while at the same time improving physical condition. The only drawback to this is that children who are less able to perform well in sport are likely to feel inadequate in comparison to their more gifted classmates, which may affect their self – confidence.

From an economic point of view, sport can be profitable and advertising. On the other hand this creates revenue for the sporting industry which allows for improvement and expansion. Oh the other hand large sums of money are often paid to event organizers to promote products such as cigarettes, which are very harmful. In my opinion, sport should be used as much as possible to encourage people to lead a more healthy and peaceful life instead of being used to promote unhealthy products.
