Idk about the US , cause I can ' t remember the cheerleaders at any games I ' ve been to . But I went to a baseball game in Korea , and those cheerleader folks were the life of the party , leading cheers , doing sexy dance routines , keeping the energy up . It was great . Some minor league US baseball also has fun mascots and cheer staff . My hometown St Paul Saints have a bunch of goofy character actors that go around , play with the crowd , lead cheers , it ' s wonderful fun . But those guys are less athletic . <| sep |> I agree , but be careful if they are hard core against it . My dad was a cop in the 70 s and pretty straight edge his entire life . When he was dying of cancer , he has sever pain managment issues . While visiting him , I made him some pot brownies to try and help . He came into the kitchen and could smell something . I explained what I had done . He immediatly dumped them in the trash and was kinda pissed at me for brining pot into his house . Ironically , after he died , my step mom dated a guy for a month who proceeded to finish off all of my dad ' s leftover opiates and pain pills .
