MASCOTS, CHEERLEADERS, AND FANATICAL FANS
 
�            Pro­fes­sion­al cheer­leader Krazy George Hen­der­son led the first
doc­u­ment­ed “wave” at an Oak­land Ath­let­ics play­off game on Octo­ber
15, 1981. It’s since become a fan favorite activ­i­ty every­where.
 
�       Fan vio­lence is not unique to the mod­ern world. On Tues­day, Jan­u­ary
13, 532 CE, char­i­ot rac­ing fan fac­tions in Con­stan­tino­ple, known as
the Greens and Blues, near­ly brought down the Byzan­tine Empire in
what is known as the Nika Riots.
 
�            Mod­ern cheer­lead­ing began as an all-male ven­ture in the US.
Although cheer­lead­ing is now pri­mar­i­ly female, it remains an
Amer­i­can-cen­tric activ­i­ty.
 
�       Dur­ing the ear­ly 1900s, the Chica­go Cubs often used a live bear cub
as a mas­cot. In 1908, though, they opt­ed for a bear taxi­dermy mount.
 
�       Per­cy Abey­sek­era (born 1936) may be one of the most ded­i­cat­ed fans
in the world. At 86-years-young, Per­cy has fol­lowed the Sri Lankan
crick­et team around the world and always waves the team’s flag at
match­es.
 
�            It’s believed that the first orga­nized cheer at an Amer­i­can sport­ing
event took place in 1884 at a Prince­ton Uni­ver­si­ty foot­ball game.
 
�            John­ny Camp­bell is often cred­it­ed with being the world’s first
cheer­leader. Camp­bell led a group of male Uni­ver­si­ty of Min­neso­ta
stu­dents in a cheer at a foot­ball game on Novem­ber 2, 1898.
 
�            The Nation­al Bas­ket­ball Asso­ci­a­tion (NBA) Phoenix Suns’ offi­cial
team mas­cot is not a Sun, but a goril­la named “Go.” Three dif­fer­ent
peo­ple have worn the goril­la suit.
 
�            Base­ball is one Amer­i­can sport where cheer­lead­ers are usu­al­ly
absent. Cheer­lead­ers do play a big part in the Kore­an Base­ball
League’s (KBO) fan expe­ri­ence, though.
 
�            The San Diego Chick­en is often cred­it­ed with being the start of the
Amer­i­can mas­cot craze. Ted Gian­noulas first donned the out­fit in
1974 and has been the only “offi­cial” Chick­en since.
 
�            Orga­nized soccer/football hooli­gan clubs are known as “firms.” It’s
believed that soc­cer hooli­gan­ism began in Eng­land in the late 1880s,
but it wasn’t until after World War II that the first firms formed.
 
�            There are now dozens of pro­fes­sion­al and ama­teur cheer
com­pe­ti­tions around the world. Still, the Nation­al Col­le­giate Ath­let­ic
Asso­ci­a­tion (NCAA) doesn’t rec­og­nize cheer­lead­ing as a sport.
 
�       The 1980 Sum­mer Olympics in Moscow, the Sovi­et Union were the
first to have an offi­cial mas­cot. ‘Misha the Bear’ greet­ed Olympians
and view­ers from around the world in Moscow.
 
�            In 1954, the Bal­ti­more Colts became the first Nation­al Foot­ball
League (NFL) team to have a cheer­lead­ing squad. They were part of
the team’s march­ing band and more close­ly resem­bled a high school
or col­lege cheer, squad.
 
�       Major League Baseball’s (MLB) Philadel­phia Phillies’ mas­cot is the
“Phillie Pha­nat­ic.” The green, flight­less bird first entered the dia­mond
dur­ing the 1978 sea­son and is still the mas­cot.
 
�            On April 30, 1993, a fanat­i­cal fan stabbed Yugosla­vian ten­nis star
Mon­i­ca Seles dur­ing a match at the French Open. Although the injury
was minor, she didn’t com­pete for two years as a result.
 
�       Since 1917, the offi­cial nick­name and mas­cot of Yuma High­school in
Yuma, Ari­zona has been the “Crim­i­nals.” The name comes from the
orig­i­nal school being on the grounds of the old ter­ri­to­r­i­al prison.
