The women on the NFL cheerleader squads usually do a few choreographed dance routines that don’t often get shown on TV (it’s usually during a commercial break) but I haven’t seen them do much of the more acrobatic feats you typically see at the college games. If this were something new I’d assume it was for liability reasons because it’s not worth budgeting as much for potential injuries the way they do for the football players, but it seems like it’s always been that way at the NFL and I doubt that was much of a concern in the ’50s or ’60s. Most teams also don’t have marching bands or even spirit bands either, so maybe it really is mostly cost-cutting.
