The same year, I won prom king! Elijah Kelley

Contrary to popular mythology, not all NFL cheerleaders are bimbos or strippers or bored pretty girls looking to get rich. The Ben-Gals offer proof.

If they’re lazy, we can tell. Bill Simmons
My mom is my best friend and my biggest cheerleader. Scott Eastwood
My way was not to be the petite, gorgeous, little cheerleader. My way of getting by was making people laugh. Kristen Johnston

I was a cheerleader for nine years! Betsey Johnson

It’s hard to think it’s important to try out as cheerleader when you’re starring on Broadway. But you do kind of miss the things that I now see my children doing. I’m just happy they are not actors.
