I agree Raggytash, I don't like to see cheerleaders at matches. But I have a slightly different reason for my dislike. I find it rather sexist and strangely degrading for attractive, scantily-dressed women to be supporting male teams, unless there are equivalent cheerleader teams of men supporting women's sporting events, to make it fair. It seems very old-fashioned to me, almost primitive, to have females egging on males.
I've seen boxing matches on TV (my husband adores watching boxing) where in between rounds, or bouts or whatever they're called, a half-naked woman parades about carrying a placard of some sort. Why? Almost as bad as strippers and pole-dancers. Surely times have moved on nowadays?
