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?
The cheerleaders get to meet the wealthy/connected people who can afford the stadium "luxury boxes". Many attractive women want the opportunity to meet wealthy men.
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.
