Is it all men who do Morris dancing?

There are two related forms known as Morris Dancing.

There are the various traditional dances of the British Isles which are collectively known as "Morris Dancing". These include quite a variety of dance forms including Cotswold, Border, North-West, Rapper, and Sword dancing. Some of these types have more of a male tradition, others more a female, but today dancers of both sexes can be found dancing all forms. Dancers can be found performing these dances all over the UK and in many other countries across the world. Their origins seem to be in 14th Century Courtly dances and relatives of Morris dancing can be found surviving across Europe.

There is the type also known as Carnival or "Fluffy" Morris which involves mainly groups of girls dancing processional forms that originated from North-West Morris dancing. Girls have dresses, shakers (pom poms) and pumps with bells on. They go to competitions every week, then after the Christmas term train until march.

Which is harder - cheerleading or football?

There is no way to determine if a sport is "harder" than another sport.

So lets compare football and cheering (I'm going to use All-Star cheering here)

Goal of Sport:

Football: Outplay your opponent, using formations, to score the most points to win

Cheerleading: Perform a 2:30 routine (composed of stunts, tumbling, jumps, and dance) without flaws to receive a higher score than your opponent.

In terms of skill:

Football: Football requires stamina, agility, speed

Cheerleading: Cheering requires, stamina, strength, flexibility, and coordination

In terms of difficulty:

Not to down football, but I think its more difficult to throw a girl in the air, or do a back tuck than it is to throw a ball down a field.

In terms of danger:

Cheerleading is the 3rd most dangerous sport in the world. Football is the 10th

Safety:

Football: Padding and helmits

Cheerleading: Mats, however no body protection

Cheerleading has no "off season" no half- time, no time-out and no bench

However, many football players lift weights and condition year round
