Just a guess that this could be started from the fat people chorus too.

Nope. The point was to get fans going so they can encourage the players WHILE playing. Anything else is beside the point.

Oh yeah. Can’t be demeaning because the women choose it.

So do prostitutes and porn stars. Yeah, they must be right. Not demeaning.

Gimme a break.

Because appreciating them is an expression of “toxic masculinity”.

No they are not. One hardly notices them, and almost never at the right time. If you need a Jumbotron, you’re not easily seeing them. Never mind the fact you don’t see or hear them during the plays which is the point.

“Yeah. Gotta go with the libs on this one.”

Congratulations. You’ve just been divided.

Next comes the conquering part.

Enjoy.

No need to wonder. The events reported on in The Lost Children of Rockdale County started about 25 years ago.

First off I don’t do that.

Somehow I didn't think you did(now I wonder where I got that idea from), but that is not the point.
The point being hundreds of millions(if not billions) of women use male strippers for all kinds of women only shindigs like hen nights for the sole purpose of being titillated.
That men use female strippers as well is irrelevant. We are not the ones trying to kill cheer leading.

That’s funny. TRADTIONAL America was very conservative in dress and behavior. This tradition of sluttiness is only about 40 years old, AFTER the liberals liberated us from our sexual “hangups” in the 60s with their hippies. And gave us rampant bastard children, never mind diseases and broken marriages, and ruined lives everywhere.

Sluttiness and licentiousness are not our tradition.

I hate to break this to you, but professional sports is a business. Making money is the point. Butts in the seats, eyes on the screen, and higher ad revenues are the point. Increasing merchandise sales are the point. It's about making money. And maybe if the league went back to playing a game people would want to watch, with old school cheerleaders and college bands playing halftime shows, they might make more. Just a thought :-)

I played football for years. Before high school, high school and a couple of years in college.

I never really understood the purpose of cheerleaders. They just ranted and jumped around. No one paid any attention to them. They lead nothing.

And now Cheerleading has taken the place of gymnastics in most high schools and college. Either do gymnastics or lead cheers.

...There really is no point to it. So what if they are eliminated.

I tend to agree, as a male, I find professional cheerleaders annoying. Really no point to them, but to a significant degree, the same is true for the game on the field. Find a real job, do something useful with all that physical prowess.

Cheer-leading is now equivalent to working in the porn industry?
You have no idea what you are talking about.
It's like the difference between day and night.

Oh please. Sure you’ll find we do not do it like males do. Billions LOL.

And you ignored that private hiring for a few people is DIFFERENT from free public presentation to millions per year.

Gee, back in my day, which was admittedly quite a while ago, cheerleaders did both and quite well. :-)

First of all, cheer-leading is NOT sluttiness. Nor does it have anything to do with licentiousness. They have VERY STRICT rules in the NFL regarding the conduct of cheerleaders.
You are barking up the wrong tree.

The point is it IS demeaning, no matter what the perp thinks. I’d say the same of all the immoral people who screw outside marriage. Yup it’s wrong.

If you wear skimpy garbage, you are demeaning yourself. Period. If you tell someone to wear these clothes and to gyrate suggestively, you are demeaning. Period. Low class and immoral.
