Question

What is your opinion about the participation of cheer leaders in cricket, once known as a game of gentlemen?

Answer 1

I think having cheerleaders is fine as long as they DRESS PROPERLY and DANCE within limits

Cheerleaders, music, Firecrackers etc., all make the event more colourful and I think thats good

Answer 2

gentlemens game is no more the game of future is what we call it and as for cheerleader then i think its to pull atention towards the westerners mostly americans to cricket if not ipl.

Answer 3

i think cheerleaders are just there to waste money ...no one is even looking at them and neither is anyone interested...besides its of no point to keep them there....

Answer 4

I think it is stupid to have cheerleaders in cricket.  The whole thing is about entertainment.  This is bringing the value of cricket down.

Answer 5

They are there to draw attention away from the fact that T20 has no substance and really is quite dull.

Answer 6

You are right when you said its a gentleman's game but the cheer leaders are there to entertain the audiences (who need not be gentlemen).

So the participation of cheer leaders is just for entertainment.

Answer 7

Cheerleaders - really! - Gee, I just might watch it - like as much as I watch other sports - almost not at all!

(I like to watch the Superbowl once a year.  It's an occasion to break out the food I don't eat the rest of the year because it is bad for me.  Do people think they burn any calories WATCHING sports?  I mean, how many calories does moving your eyes and clapping burn?)
