Pep rallies and cheerleaders

"I go to an international school in Europe, and the American community in the school decided that having some "school spirit" would be a fantastic idea. So they made us sit in the gym for an hour while the student council tried to get us to sing a song and then we watched teachers vs students basket ball. It was bloody painful." — CharizardTurtle
"Why do you need a group of young girls to get you all excited to support your American Football/Basketball/Hockey team. In all honesty when they come on the sports ground here its seen as kinda pervy if you're a man and watch them perform." — HMFCalltheway
