Football Bears Fans Bag On Packer Cheerleader - Page 2

gblowfish · 02-09-2013, 05:17 PM

This kind of reminds me of the old CP proverb: "Don't bitch about neg rep...unless you want more neg rep." Bears fans hate Packer fans. I say, "what did she expect?"

Story:

A former NFL cheerleader is firing back at cyber bullies after a rival football team's fans called her "ugly" and "an eyesore" on Facebook.

Kaitlyn Collins of Eagle River, Wis., who used to be a Green Bay Packers cheerleader, posted a YouTube video answering people who posted cruel remarks about her appearance on an unofficial Chicago Bears Fan page. A photo of Collins in her Packers cheerleading uniform surfaced on the page on Monday, with the caption "Like If You Agree The Packers Have The Worst Cheerleaders In The NFL!"

Collins, who did not immediately respond to ABC News' request for comment, does not say a word during the video. Instead she holds up handwritten sheets of paper to the camera.

"Most comments on the photo were too horrible to repeat, but had the same theme…UGLY," she writes. "This is bullying in its newest form - cyber bullying."

"Thankfully," she goes on, "I have an amazing support system full of wonderful friends and family telling me that I AM BEAUTIFUL. What about the people who don't have that at home? What will happen when something like this happens to them?"

Collins' video has been watched nearly 200,000 times since it was posted online Wednesday.

But the photo of Collins and the hurtful comments were not removed from the Chicago Bears Fan page until Thursday. By that time, it had been "liked" over 3,000 times and there were hundreds of negative comments.

In her video, Collins wrote that she asked Facebook to take the hateful post down, but the site "found it does not qualify as bullying under their standards."

"We're concerned about any abusive behavior, and have made efforts to promote an environment where everyone on Facebook can connect and share comfortably," said a Facebook spokesperson in a prepared statement.

"We maintain a robust reporting infrastructure that leverages over a billion people who use our site to keep an eye out for offensive or potentially dangerous content. This reporting infrastructure includes report links on pages across the Facebook site, systems to prioritize the most serious reports, and a trained team of reviewers who respond to reports and escalate them to law enforcement as needed. This team treats reports of harassing and bullying content as a priority."

There has since been an outpouring of support for Collins. Facebook users took to the fan page to criticize both the social networking site and the page's administrators for not taking the insults down more quickly.

"We did not see all the posts to take down the Cheerleader pic until today," the Chicago Bears Fan page administrators posted on Thursday. "We get hundreds of messages per day and are not always on here. The issue has been resolved. Please respect one another and do not bully on this page."

Collins thanked those who stood up for her, even if they didn't root for the same team.

"So, to all the Bear's Fans [sic] that defended me…I gladly (for one night only! Still a Packer chick!) wear blue and orange!" she wrote. "Thank you! From the bottom of my green and gold heart!"

bullying is a physical act. this cyber bullying bullshit is for whiny little pussies. I was raised not to care what others thought of me. factor in the fact a football rivalry is involved, and its a perfect example of how too many people have too thin of skin. what if kristie tynes had tried to subject us to one of these stupid flashcard videos???

She needs to go down to her local high school and totally tear up some seventeen year old with a shovel in his pants.

Then she could work for the Bengals.

Tombstone RJ · 02-09-2013, 06:06 PM

but don't kid yourself, I'd do her.

**Iowanian** · 02-09-2013, 06:07 PM

Recently her boyfriend was so disappointed when she didn't show up, he tried to make a horse have a baby.

The moral of the story is that if you want to have sex with a cheerleader, remember to prey on her low self esteem.

They work wonders. I'll bet the lady from Decorah, IA that you teased when you consulted her on that historic hotel made a sign video. And look at her now. Business is booming.

Honestly, and I've NEVER looked at NFL cheerleaders and thought "mmmm". Now college cheerleaders, that's a different story....

I've got a buddy who softly moans to himself every time a cheerleader is on screen. Creeps me the **** out. I don't even know if he realizes he's doing it.

**Guru** · 02-09-2013, 08:14 PM

Boy, just wait until all the n00bs start doing this about their first CP experience.

now thats funny, i'd have to call him on it... DUDE - STOP IT!

**GloryDayz** · 02-09-2013, 08:46 PM

First, she's not ugly...

Second, it's Chicago.....LOL, a shithole of epic proportion that has some fo the worst people of all time counted in its numbers.

Third, I'm not sure I'd agree that it's bullying. It's being mean, but the day being mean a cruel are listed as being synonymous with bullying, I think it's just going to make things worse.

Fourth, if this keeps up, bosses being mean, boot camp drill sergeants and company commanders are in serious danger! I know it's voluntary, but with the way things are progressing, they'll be brought up on charges for past crimes...

Fifth, I appreciate her message, and the support she's getting, but I also think women who become cheerleaders are doing something, professionally, based on their looks. Much like a movie star who loses his/her looks, it seems fair game based on the origins being based on being picture perfect. Arnold sagged and he heard about it. Kelly McGillis didn't keep her looks, and we mocked her on this board. So a cheerleader isn't as perfect as she once was, and somebody said something. Oh well, we're all assholes...

And when folks printed less-than-glamorous things in various parts of papers 20 years ago, were they bullies?

Whatever, let's move on! She's still hot and I'd love to meet her...

"I'd still **** her, but only from behind with a paper bag over her head"
