Olympic Cheerleaders

Sorry another post about the Olympics.

I'm watching the USA indoor VB team play Brazil and there are cheerleaders in the background. 

I'm confused as to why they would be needed. If they are sanctioned Olympic cheerleaders WHO exactly are they cheering for?

I'm as confused as you are.

lol, I noticed that too. I was hoping they were local cheer squads that were asked to come cheer on the players and not travel cheerleaders for the team.

They look like mid teens to me, 15-16ish. Hot pink zebra striped outfits.

Okay, I'm less confused now. Thanks.

I think it's dumb though but I guess they needed something to fill the seats. I heard they were trying to pull teachers, students and military people to fill empty seats in the less visited venues.

I heard on the radio news today that there are a TON of empty seats because corporate sponsors bought them, but then didn't send anybody.  Like, why not donate the tickets too?  Damn that is annoying.  People want to get in to see events, but can't because some jerkoff is sitting on tickets that won't be used?  RUDE.

I heard they were tickets for family and friends of the athletes. 

I hope they give out the tickets if the people don't show up.

I feel the same way about it.  I thought I heard last night that they're going to open up the seats to military members and students first if people aren't showing up, and that if someone leaves a venue they can give someone else their tickets to use so they can watch the events.
