Moi! J’ai été époustouflée du travail insensé que ces jeunes femmes fournissent pour, si j’ai bien compris, ne pas être payées grand chose au final! Je suis très admirative de l’acharnement dont elles font preuve. Je déplore juste la jeune femme qui a été évincée à cause de sa petite taille (sans qu’on le lui dise franchement… la directrice de la marque est à vomir…) et le manque cruel de jeunes femmes noires (il y en avait peu aux auditions aussi). Nous n’avons pas cette culture du cheerleading en France mais j’avoue trouver ça très chouette

There's something deeply American and very melancholic about watching this performance in front of a almost empty mega stadium. It creates a feeling like the party has been over for years and the few people who find their way out into the stadium in the dead subburb watch a sad shadow of a past that is gone. It has that very specific coldness you don't find in other mega cities around the world. The Soviet city coldness is different. The American city coldness has a certain feel to it. Like it's build on a fanatic dream that got mixed with reality and now just seem very very strange.

[@canebro1]

Not sure why you classify this as "American", it is really just a 2022 thing. I went to the games back in the early 2000s and the stadiums were packed. It is more of an issue with the NFL going super woke, which is alienating the majority of the fans, especially in Texas.
