The NFL could fire the whole lot of them, advertise for cheerleaders promising next to no pay, a hostile work environment, intimidation and even fear, and it would still have ten acceptable applicants for each available position.

They could also dump the whole cheerleader thing. The modern version was a dumb idea brought on by some opportunistic expansion team that wanted to make a sleazy version of a college tradition and monetize it. They succeeded, to the detriment of the sport.

When cheerleaders were cheelreaders:
