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.

Right - it was actually white liberals who deemed it racist. The whining had been mounting over the years.

You white boys are having WAY too much fun. Outta the pool.

Now, isn’t that better?

I think this squad just talked themselves out of a job. Good, bad or otherwise, they complained but had no real legal issues with what had occurred and now the squad is gone.

Paula Abdul, Jenilee Harrison, Teri Hatcher, and Stacey Keebler were all cheerleaders for pro sports teams before moving on to bigger things in show business. There’s a slew of others including Prince’s old squeeze Apollonia who went the same route.

The Washington Football Team Redskinettes have been transformed into the Faggettes...

In addition, the NFL will probably be adding 3-points to the final score for the game's most diverse/inclusive team...

Stopped watching NFL waaaaay before Krapernick and the kneelers. All of the thuggish shenanigans and celebrating after every play drove me away.

George Halas has to be spinning in his grave.

What instruction is actually offered? It can’t be anything -Ed.

I’m not seeing how having male cheerleaders would alleviate the problem of players trying to seduce female cheerleaders, if that’s what’s happening.

I suppose if it’s fans trying to seduce them, presumably the male cheerleaders would protect the females...I wouldn’t count on it though.
