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

Posted on 02/02/2011 10:45:57 AM PST by ConservativeStatement

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.

Take it to a thread where your delicate sensibilities won't be insulted.

You chose to be a shrew and a scold and go behind the “Cheerleader” door only to cast scorn upon any who would care to look at a Cheerleader as not sufficiently conservative.

Hate to break it to you lemonbiter, but it is quite conservative to appreciate the human female form, and conservatives have and will continue this fine tradition of having women cheer on our athletes with provocative displays of female flesh and acrobatic athleticism!

It is as American as Apple Pie, Levi Blue Jeans, and Cokeacola and Rock n Roll!

“Oh but all the Elvis hip shaking just leads kids right to the devil”

LOL!!!!

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

I posted a photo concerning there being no cheerleaders at The Super Bowl.

Now mind you, the Saints Cheerleaders perform at The Superdome, where they do not have a cover charge or check ID. A three year old can watch them dance. The majority of ticket holders, I'll warrant, lean "conservative" when voting.

Having said that - the NFL is HUGE in red states - so if you have a prob with how the family-friendly NFL is doing business - then you have a prob with the U.S. of A.

Please leave your visa at the airport terminal.

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?

Oh, good grief....they're not looking at porn; they're looking at pictures of NFL cheerleaders.

That's what red-blooded American men do.

It isn't hurting anyone and nobody forced you to come to this thread.

Personally, I prefer red-blooded American real men over those metrosexual types who would probably see those cheerleaders as competition.

We all know that you like to hang out with the boys.

I just don’t understand why you feel the need to lower the standards for everyone else.

The out of wedlock birth rate and the state of morality in America clearly doesn’t matter to you as long as you’re satisfied.

I am sure many a conservatives daughter HAS been or IS presently a Cheerleader.

A family of leftists would see it as a patriarchal minimization of womyns role and objectification of them as nothing more than sexual objects.

So to review....

Cheerleaders - conservative.

Against Cheerleaders - nutter.

Fine, the question remains, why are you forcing it upon traditional values conservatives on FR when the whole rest of the world appreciates your enjoyment?

Just be kind to the people who have no other place to go.

No other place to go? I can recommend several places you can go!

Nobody forced you to click on this thread.

When you have your own website you can dictate content, and all the lemonbiters can feel self-righteous that they won't be affronted by any images of beautiful women and their oh so tempting flesh...... after they click on a link that clearly has “Cheerleader” in the title.

I'll will never be ashamed nor will I ever apologize for being a male.

I should feel ashamed for posting a picture of cheerleaders?

I guess HS football players should wear reverse burkas. That would make a Hail Mary pass a real Hail Mary pass!

“traditional values” & “conservatives”

Define “traditional”? If you mean “Prudish as a Pilgrim”, you don’t know Conservative. Cheerleading has been a tradition for decades. I personally resent anyone claiming to define conservatism as requiring prudish morals.

I actually thought that the reason they didn’t have cheerleaders could be because they were being responsible since they have a family product.

I thought this might be good news that decent men, in the position to do so, would provide a wholesome environment for young boys who don’t need the excitement and for old men who are tired of embarrassing their daughters.

Instead, I got you and the other so-called conservatives who have contempt for my traditional values.

Thanks.

And you apparently have contempt in spades for OUR traditional values, which include playing football and appreciating cheerleaders like a red-blooded American MAN.

Nothing unwholesome about Cheerleaders.

Down home all American wholesome conservative fun!

But obviously not for lemonbiters.
