I think it was only for one season, but it was too long ago to be certain. Poor guy took a ton of abuse from us obnoxious fans in the end zone. Different time/different attitudes, for sure. I am curious to see how Eagles fans will react to this. Didn't they boo and throw snowballs at Santa years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the high-school and college levels, fine, keep the cheerleaders. (And coed cheerleading squads aren't really all that new - some colleges have been doing it for many years.) But at the pro level, there's no point. They add nothing to the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd only add that cheerleaders are traditionally the community ambassadors for the team and that NFL cheerleading is a pinnacle of excellence in the dance profession, even to a higher degree than being in music videos and being selected as a dancer for musician tours. It's an industry in itself. To be selected for an NFL cheerleading spot, not only are you likely an excellent athlete but you also dance professionally. You can't sweat or look like you are huffing and puffing through routines. Teams have gotten away from squads that consist mostly of models because there's no guarantee they are going to be able to execute the more complex choreography. Models can look pretty but be completely out of shape. Dancers have dancer bodies and they are trained to dance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJS Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I am totally fine with removing all non-football related entertainment from gameday experiences. When a game is playing, I only care about the game. I don't care about cheerleaders or dance crews, drum lines, etc. 1 hour ago, Hapless Bills Fan said: This is more likely the idea of what they have in mind People like watching that? Good for them, I guess. I feel the same way about cheerleaders, honestly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iccrewman112 Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Don’t know why pro teams don’t have marching bands from the local high schools or colleges perform at halftime. Pick the high schools in the spring so they have a ton of time to practice and give them each $25K toward arts/music and athletics programs. Win win for all parties involved. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's usually a marketing tool honestly. The girls get paid low wages but it was a way to get your name/face/talent out there, no other reason to do it for what they were paid. Is not a positive in marketing anymore so that's a bust and the girls complain about the wages. So I would agree at this point it's a dead issue.

It should be a dance off between Diggs & Tre White. Now that alone would be worth the price of admission. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paup 1995MVP Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I always thought the Raiders cheerleaders were the hottest. Sexy with lots of T & A, and some edginess prancing around the Oakland Alameda County Coliseum!! Now that is a beautiful sight in my mind. I don't care what era we are now supposedly in!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw the Ohio State band at Wembley a few years ago. One of the most enjoyable moments of the entire day. I adore this idea. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
