Most people think if a woman is attractive, has a nice body and can dance, then she is qualified to be a cheerleader. That might not be enough to make the Dallas Cowboys' squad though.
According to the Dallas Morning News , the most famous cheerleaders in the NFL have to have talent, be able to do interviews and know world geography.
As part of the tryouts to be a Cowboys cheerleader , the women have to pass a personal interview and must ace a written test of more than 80 questions. Topics for the questions include the history of the Cowboys, the cheerleaders' history, the National Football League and current events.
One question asks the candidates to "Name one country that borders Iraq." ( See more sample questions .)
If you think you have what it takes to be a Cowboys cheerleader and are in the Dallas area, auditions are now being held for this year's squad.
