Washington Football Team Cheerleaders
Going to be replaced with a co-ed "dance squad." FAAAABULOUS!
https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/...rs-dance-squad ASHBURN, Va. -- The Washington Football Team has discontinued its cheerleader program after more than 50 years, replacing it with a coed dance squad as part of its rebranding effort. The team had announced last month that the cheerleader program was paused while it decided what direction the rebranding would take. Petra Pope, hired by the team as a senior adviser focused on creating game-day entertainment, said the goal is to create a "more modern franchise." "With that comes inclusivity, diversity and in my mind, as an entertainer, athleticism," Pope told ESPN by phone. "My desire is to create a team that is all of that -- inclusive, diverse, coed, athletic -- to set the gold standard in the NFL. We're looking for that super athlete that can dance, perform tricks and stunts and manipulate whatever props that will create a really great show." The cheerleaders' contracts expire March 31, but there are no events scheduled this month, and they are paid hourly. |

Ther whole cheerleader thing started with the Cowboys and it just needs to stop. Seriously, do we really need cheerleaders at Arrowhead? Has anyone besides the people in the 1st few rows actually heard them cheer? Maybe when the camera is on them, but I'd wager the schlub in section 327 can't follow the cheer. It's strictly a marketing tool to get rich old dudes to upgrade their gold seats to a suite.

Eh, blow it out yer ass. They do a lot of local charity stuff and interact with the crowd a lot during the games. The dancing is pretty tongue in cheek.

There will still be T&A to look at. They're simply getting some guys in there to lift the T&A and the heavy props. People are losing their minds over this?

That's the difference between high school/college sports and pro. In high school/college, it's popular to go and hang out with friends, so people aren't necessarily into the game itself. Cheerleaders, in this case, help lead the crowd in cheers. At a pro game, people are spending good money for tickets because they are actually going to watch the game. They know when to cheer and don't need prodding. |

The Ravens have had male cheerleaders ever since they started in '96. They're like in college, they yeah the cheers and throw the girls up in the air and catch them.

I'm glad that there will now be an option for guy cheerleaders to further their career past college. Not many paying jobs for throwing girls up in the air and catching them.
