I have two statements. #1 I’m glad the fact that you did recognize that other countries do have cheerleaders. The weird thing I think is that (at least) Korean baseball has cheerleaders, and as far as I know American baseball doesn’t. #2 That other countries use the relegation/promotion system. I think in some sports (like hockey and especially soccer) it would be good and interesting.

Baseball is an American sport so you can see the cheerleading was an American import, so no surprising seeing cheerleaders in American sports outside America

@@Akinwalesegun I agree but as far as I know we don’t have cheerleaders at baseball games. If I’m wrong then I’m wrong, but I have never been to a game, even at the high school level where they did. 🤷🏽♂️

Those Korean cheerleader are basically strippers lol, millions of views in their videos online. Not complaining though 😍
Has Watchmojo ever done a "Top 10 Cheerleaders" video? The Dallas Cowboys' cheerleaders has to be in the top 3.
For #9 I get that the tradition started as a joke, though nowadays I think it would be more fitting to dunk Gatorade on the quarterback or the team member who scored the winning point. Dunking Gatorade on the person who won the game is like a refreshing breeze from an exhilarating challenge.
You lot should try Promotion/Relegation. In american sport teams can intentionaly lose games if the can't reach the playoffs just to get higher draft picks wich loses the competitveness to the league. While when you have promotion/relegation you need too win games just to stay in the division.

One thing that surprised me about tale-gating, some or most tale-gates don’t even go to the game. The only college football game I’ve been to is my LSU tigers playing EMU. Fans come out to be part of the LSU community, drink, have a good time, and eat but apparently it was a waste of time going to the game to watch our team kick the crap out of a smaller school. They just watch the game from outside the stadium. I was thinking why tale-gate right outside the stadium and not even go to the game ? I guess it’s common. It was my first and only college game live so it was exciting for me but it was just another small school to beat by 20+ points for them.

Ok you probably should've told the story about, "The Rat Trick". It gives a whole lot of relevant context to the brief timeframe where throwing rats on the ice made sense at Florida Panthers games.
One of them should’ve been calling things ‘World’ despite not being played in the world.
I remember when they were throwing octopuses at Red Wings-games.

Tailgating technically has its roots all the way back in the Roman Empire. Except instead of bread and wine it is burgers, hotdogs, sausages, and beer. Hat-trick is Canadian, not the states. it is debated which city (Toronto, Montreal, or Guelph). Originally it was the promise of a free hat to anyone who could accomplish such. Like tailgating it is not the same as what we do now, but the concept and idea were of smaller scale back then and were taken to larger proportions as time went on.
Trades and Cap Space is what I would like to see in european sports
@jeromeclemente3672

Salary cap can work but I doubt that trades will overcome transfers in football simply because the player pool is unimaginably large. Unlike basketball, only a small percentage of the population are even tall enough to play. So trades are better for them.
Impressive run-on sentence in the beginning
Love these traditions

Every person who is football (soccer) fan needs to tailgate once!! Dont go to the pun, get a group of your friends and pals and get a grill, make food
the gatorade bath can be tricky. you have wet bucket full of juice. i have seen coaches get hit in the head with it as the bucket slips out of their hands. in 2008 when the celtics won. doc rivers got it. this is basketball. there was gatorade all over the floor. people were slipping and sliding.
Hat Tricks are very common in hockey, and seeing Connor McDavid of the Edmonton Oilers' hat trick is ironic because they are Canadian. Maybe change the name of the video to "North America."
I love the cheerleaders! And the Dallas Cowboys have the best cheerleaders!!

I don’t understand cheerleaders. A lot of it is just oversexualization and many of the cheerleaders are treated badly and told to look perfect. I personally just think it’s unhealthy. I don’t think we should stop having cheer or anything, I just think cheerleaders shouldn’t be as oversexualized as they are.

Salary caps, college sports, trades draft are interconnected to the fact that american sports have no promotion or relegation. Cheerleaders was tried in sweden but we found it demeaning to women. Other sports have a variant of the gatorade shower, in sweden the coaches are thrown into the shower

#ProRelForUSA needs to happen in soccer. Same with promotion and relegation in Canada. Going hand-in-hand with pro/rel is that teams in such a system practically never move. There are exceptions to this (Wimbledon FC to MK Dons), but this happens entirely too much in American sports for exactly the wrong reasons. This is exactly why St. Louis sued the NFL over their team leaving (for no good reason and based entirely on lies) and settled for $790 million.
Those college players need to get some of that pay, or at least some of their tuitions paid off for making the schools so much money and fame
The most entertaining aspect of the Dallas Cowboys today are their cheerleaders tbh.

What is the third continent ? I know about North America and South America. I don't think the Isthmus of Panama counts as a continent, but I might be wrong. Is there some part of the Americas which is in Asia, Africa or Europe that I don't know about ? Or is there some reasoning which associates Antartica with the Americas because of the relative physical proximity of the Tierra del Fuego to the Antarctic Peninsular ?
Yep, this is 100% all true!
