Alan Fine believes this legend to have originated in the early 1970s, a time when women in American were demanding equal rights — rights that many males found threatening. Thus, according to Fine, this legend came about as adolescent males' way of simultaneously expressing desire for cheerleaders, the "symbol of virtuous young womanhood" and "highly desirable sexual possessions" while disapproving of women's newly liberated roles.

Honorable Mention: Every Cheerleading Team to have Experienced Bad Press for Getting Drunk and Posting Naughty Pictures. All issues aside, I don't want to tiptoe around this for too long, yes, some of them are bad girls. Thinking about it more accurately, a few of them are really bad girls. Some are actually despicable. But while some may be this and that, all of them are smoking hot. Here is our list of the 20 most scandalous cheerleaders in sports history. In some versions the cheerleader does not "service" the team before the game but only promises her favors if the team wins. With all that said however, they aren't a necessity in the NFL for example. The game can function without them, but they absolutely add something pretty wonderful. As such, they get paid next to nothing. So much that it is a minor issue in the media as these wonderful ladies try to get their pay up to a decent level. For many of them, the cheerleading gig is just that, a gig, or part time job.The amount of semen allegedly pumped from the girl's stomach varies: always an exaggeration, generally somewhere between a pint and six quarts.

Realistically, I could have done an entire article on just these lasses. Now that I mention it, we just might, so stay tuned. There are numerous examples of cheerleading squads who have gotten drunk together and taken pictures of each other. From the high school level to the pro leagues, these girls have been called every name in the book, but ultimately this criticism comes from dinosaurs: people with archaic views and stupid priorities. Examples include the New England Patriots girls who got loaded and drew on the first one to pass out. The girls of Orange Coast College took a series of naked and nearly naked pictures one night while drunk. The Sacramento Kings' cheerleaders got loaded and took selfies a few years ago, and apparently that was a problem. There is also the story of the Fab 5, a group of high school cheerleaders from Texas who got drunk and took tons of pictures that made it all over the internet. The only thing wrong with that is the high school thing, if they are under 18 and dudes looked at that, it's a crime, but that's on the men out there, not these girls. The Arizona State cheerleading squad took some underwear pictures several years ago and it was great, but they too received some negative press. The story shows, among other things, how the male ego can perpetuate mistaken assumptions, namely that the amount of the ejaculate supposedly swallowed by the cheerleader is routinely wildly overestimated. Tellers of the tale describe the amount in terms of pints, quarts, or gallons, yet at an average ejaculation of 4 cubic centimeters, the product of an entire football team (22 players), would tote up to just under three fluid ounces, about 3/8 of a cup.
