There's definitely a difference between collegiate cheerleaders (more athletic) and pro football (more dance and for "show"!) Are you a football fan?

I'm a big football fan, is it as surprising to you as it is to me that cheerleading actually dates back to the 18th century?
Cheerleading began during the late 18th century with the rebellion of male students.

Hand fan
A handheld fan is an implement used to induce an airflow for the purpose of cooling or refreshing oneself. Any broad, flat surface waved back-and-forth will create a small airflow and therefore can be considered a rudimentary fan. Generally, purpose-made handheld fans are shaped like a sector of a circle and made of a thin material (such as paper or feathers) mounted on slats which revolve around a pivot so that it can be closed when not in use. The movement of a handheld fan provides cooling by increasing the airflow over the skin, which in turn increases the evaporation rate of sweat droplets on the skin.
