First Super Bowl Without Cheerleaders Has Some S-A-D, Others G-L-A-D
Fox News ^ | February 2, 2011 | Hollie McKay

This weekend's Super Bowl clash between the Green Bay Packers and Pittsburgh Steelers will be the first in the game's 45 year history sans cheerleaders.

The Packers and the Steelers are two of the six NFL teams that do not have pom-pom squads, and they haven’t had them in years. The Packers did away with their cheerleaders in 1988 after market research indicated fans didn’t really care, and in 1970 it was an “organizational decision” to dissolve the Steelerettes.

Dolphins are mammals, and mammals have mammary glands, so I think your picture is perfectly appropriate.

Just stop it! Give conservative traditional values people someplace where they won’t be assaulted by your sexual desires.

Why can’t you control yourself?

It’s a thread about cheerleaders, if you don’t want to see women semi-provocatively dressed don’t click on a thread about cheerleaders. If he’s posting hotty pictures on a thread about the goings on in Egypt you’d have a point, but this is a cheerleader thread.

Well, there’s not much steel industry left in Pittsburgh either.


Not alot, but far from zero. Five mills running within 20 miles of my house...

According to the last figure available, Pittsburgh made 124,000 tons of steel the week of Jan. 8th.

As to the cheerleader question, we take our football seriously here. As Quinn of Quinn & Rose says: "You don't take cheerleaders to a war."

You’ve already got the Black Eyed Peas and plenty of entertainment throughout the game,” she said.

Personally, I'd rather see the Grambling Marching Band at halftime, but then again, I'm a real throwback.

I guess it's marketing and entertaining the folks who paid thousands for tickets to the Super Bowl or the tens of millions watching on TV who only watch one football game a year. I'd bet half of them couldn't tell you if a football is inflated or stuffed.

So attack me and you give those who believe boy-woman relations are OK a pass?

I know your type too well, sister - and you frighten me no more.

The Super Bowl is not a televised football game; It’s a bunch of television shows somewhat tied to a football game.

Free Republic is not strictly about politics, and is a place for discussing various social and cultural phenomena. Frankly, some of the pictures posted on this thread have been simply phenomenal!

Then why is it on FR?

Why must you force this stuff on conservative people when there is no place else in the world to talk conservative talk?

She posts some pictures of some cheerleaders and all you can talk about is her sexual desires?

I do like the verbal construct “assaulted by your sexual desires” though, good one.

Why can’t you control YOURSELF and stay off a thread about cheerleaders, if the very sight of them is going to give you a case of the vapors?

Let’s just stick with what you are doing, if that doesn’t frighten you too much.

Why not find a porn site to post pinups and leave FR for traditional values conservative people since that’s what America needs, more conservatives?

Nobody is forcing anything on anybody. The title of the story clearly says “Cheerleaders”, if you voluntarily click on it that’s your problem. Nothing about talking conservative talk precludes the occasional break to admire the beauty that is woman.

See post #53.

Take it to a site that doesn’t have conservatives who are insulted.

Wait just a second...that’s not a picture of stealing, that’s a picture of community organizing.
