OT NFL's first male dancers

[SHOWTIME15]

Depends on how frequently they have wardrobe malfunctions.

Yeah, I mean I don’t know what function they serve other than getting more men to come to the game. You would have to be an idiot to pay $$ just to see cheerleaders and not the players though. I guess there are a lot of idiots out there.

I suppose this a move to appease the red-blooded, patriotic fans who are pissed players are kneeling during the national anthem.

I can only hope that they get paid better than their female equivolents

I can only imagine the sh*tstorm that would ensue if that actually happened.

As has been posted in here already, they should have gone the other way and eliminated cheerleading entirely from the NFL.

Lynn Swan did it years ago.

I'll be watching the male cheerleaders just as much as I watch the female cheerleaders.

Players are kneeling during the anthem?

Ya think?

Actually, I know that, in junior high, a lot of the boys who weren't on the team only came to the games to see the cheerleaders. And, I'm pretty certain that a lot of those boys never really grew out of that phase.

Just think of what might've happened if, instead of kneeling, the players had chosen .... interpretive dance.

"we should totally do away with the hot chicks dancing on the sidelines during a game" is seriously a popular opinion? Where has my once great country gone? Hello? They're ****ing hot chicks dancing in tights on the sidelines. What's not to like about that? Oooh but the gaaaaame! Just look away you pansies!!

If I don’t want male cheerleaders, am I sexist even though I’m male?

I don’t quite get what the demographic is for them. I don’t think women really care to see a male cheerleader, so I don’t see how this even appeals to the “pink hats”. Who is this going to appeal to?

No. You are homophobic. I checked.

 

[wizwor]

Also, these guys look like they have training -- I'm surprised they don't want to be real performers...To each his own, I guess.

You may want to check your pronouns. That sentence could be a microaggression.

I have a feeling these people are taking a knee again.

Have you seen the Michael Sam ESPN commercial? "I don't want to be thought of as a gay football player -- I just want to be thought of as a football player." Maybe stop having press conferences telling everyone you are a gay football player?

I cannot believe the NFL is going to kill its Golden Goose, but there they are, doing it, right in front of us.

There’s gotta be a joke about one of our most beloved posters in here, somewhere, but I’ve been teasing him too much lately, so I’ll keep it to myself.

Post like it’s 2014!

Aren't coed squads totally normal at the college level? Even my high school had guys on the cheer squad. It just lets you mix up the choreography more -- typically more lifts, etc.

Cheerleading at the high school and college levels is the real thing -- leading the crowd in cheers. Cheerleading at the pro level isn't for crowd participation but for showy flash/dance choreography/sex appeal.

I'd like to hear it.
