Brazil has given us so many things—the thong bikini, the Brazilian wax, Gisele Bundchen—and now, finally, we’ve been able to repay them by sending an American tradition down south. Yes, Brazil now has cheerleaders.
Currently, the ladies who cheer for Brazil’s football teams are following closely in the American tradition—they’d all fit in quite well at an NFL game—but we’re hoping that, as the cheerleader tradition becomes more and more a part of Brazilian sports tradition, we’ll get to see a little more Brazilian flavor in the outfits. Hey, we know we’d feel some serious team spirit if we could cheer along with a thong clad pep squad!
