Washington Football Team replaces NFL's oldest cheerleading squad with coed dance ensemble following sexual harassment claims by former dancers
UK Daily Mail ^ | March 3, 2021 | Alex Raskin

The Washington Football Team is replacing the NFL's longest-running cheerleading squad with a coed dance ensemble, but the franchise is insisting that the move is part of its ongoing rebranding and not related to any accusations of sexual harassment by former dancers.

Washington began rebranding last year after dropping the team nickname, the Redskins, which many Native Americans found to be racist. The rebranding has no end in sight, and it is not known when a new team name will be announced.

Washington will not have the first coed dance team in the NFL. The Los Angeles Rams and New England Patriots both have men on their cheerleading squads.

In this #MeToo environment these squads are more trouble than they are worth.

The Redskins have gone off the Left end.

I'm triggered! They need to start using brown and white footballs and the yard markers/hash marks need to be something other than white for heaven's sake!

Don’t watch so this is a sideline issue for me. Just another reason never to watch the NFL again.

I have long wondered why women - especially really GOOD LOOKING one - would want to be cheerleaders for a pro sports team.
Well, let me modify that - besides the glamour, and the chance to be seen on TV, and the chance to get a piece of some hunky athlete - given the possible downsides (pun not intended) and risks, why would a GOOD LOOKING women want to do this?

This is an outrage!

They refer to the group as coed.

Offensive on multiple fronts. First, there is no such thing as gender, so by definition, the group can’t be coed.

Second, the group doesn’t appear to have any trans. It is exclusively comprised of cisgender males and cisgender females.

Sickening.

I wonder when the PC “Cancel” crowd is going to go after The Green Bay “Packers”, claiming the name is offensive to certain members of the LGBT community.

I was a Tampa Bay Bucs season ticket holder... After every quarter the 4 sets of Cheerleaders would switch at every corner of the end zone... They were watched more than the game... 1980s Bucs were not good...

another reason? I never watched any game since 2015 and that included the last SB. I just read it on the FR and that’s the extent.

Unlike stupid LYING Freepers who state they DONT watch the NFL, I DONT. Those same liars post it but I see them on NFL threads. TRy and find ANY of my posts on ANY Super Bowl thread and I’ll pay for your Freepathon..

“...which many Native Americans found to be racist.”


Many? How many? Dozens? Hundreds? Perhaps some, a few. But this “truth” has now been firmly established. Will there be enough fully ‘awoke’ football fans in the DC area to maintain the Washington Football Team—a team that takes its name from a slave-’holder’?

I'd guess that there are people who are into that sort of thing.

I was (still on the) season ticket holder of the LA Kings. MOstly blondes, and they even go into the crowd almost every half. The guy who normally sits to me would say those same cheerleaders, if they didnt make the Lakers team, would apply to the Kings next because the Rams management were scumbag pervs. Well, at least they weren’t fags..
