Krazy George Henderson Biography

George Henderson, known professionally as Krazy George, is an American professional cheerleader recognized for his role in popularizing the stadium wave. Henderson began his cheerleading career while attending San José State University, where he was also a member of the National Championship judo team. Early in his career, he worked as a high school teacher at Buchser High School in Santa Clara, California, before being hired by the California Golden Seals of the National Hockey League as a cheerleader. He later served as a team cheerleader for the San Jose Earthquakes, the California Golden Seals, and the Kansas City Chiefs, eventually transitioning to cheerleading as a full-time profession.

Henderson's reputation grew in the San Francisco Bay Area, leading to his recruitment by Lamar Hunt, owner of the Kansas City Chiefs, for a home game. Following a positive reception, Hunt hired Henderson for every home game for several seasons, solidifying his professional cheerleading career. Over five decades, Henderson led cheers for more than 100 teams and at over 3,000 games, becoming one of the few individuals to make a living exclusively by leading crowd cheers at sporting events. Known for his drum and distinctive voice, Henderson energized crowds at NFL and MLB stadiums and led cheers for the United States men's national soccer team during the FIFA World Cup.

Henderson is widely associated with the creation of the stadium wave, first incorporating it into his cheerleading routine during an Oakland Athletics American League Championship Series game. Although other groups, including a team from the University of Washington, have claimed credit, Henderson's wave was nationally televised and witnessed by thousands. Media outlets such as ESPN and The New York Times have acknowledged Henderson as the originator of the wave.

Beyond his work at sporting events, Henderson has been featured in People magazine and appeared on television programs including "Hollywood Squares," "To Tell the Truth," and "America's Got Talent." He has also participated in numerous national and local radio interviews. Henderson co-authored an autobiography, "Krazy George: Still Krazy After All These Cheers," with Patricia Timberg, chronicling his career and contributions to sports fan engagement. Henderson's enduring presence at San Jose Earthquakes games reflects a career that has influenced the culture of live sports entertainment.
