Probably because support could mean anything, even though that's what a stanchion is. But a support could also be the pipes that hold a goal from above or from the wall. A stanchion best describes it.
Here endeth the English lesson.

Around here, a stanchion is what is in the cow barn holding each animal in its own stall.
