When I was in high school, I remember a couple of cheerleaders who got injured after falls.  One broke her collarbone, one an arm.  Recently an NBA cheerleader fell from a lift at an Orlando Magic game.  Now it's sparking debate that it may be too dangerous of a sport.

There are many different ways pro sports teams decide on a nickname. Many are decided by suggestions from the fans. Some by the teams' geographic location. Some just by the whim of the owner. Among the teams in the NBA the Seattle Supersonics were named after a supersonic jet proposed by the Seattle-based Boeing Company in the late 1960's - a jet that was never built.
