Hate to say it’s our Colts fault for starting this.

And now OUR Colts have perfected it!

The folks trying to take down NFL cheerleaders are not after just the NFL. They are ultimately after all cheerleaders.

Cheerleaders are an iconic American tradition. The NFL is the low hanging fruit. Threaten the NFL and they worry about sponsors, ticket sales, etc., and cave at the sound of the first shot. Cheerleading in the NFL will be gone in a second.

After that it's easy. Call everyone associated with cheerleading at public schools, or who watch them at games perverts, dirty old men, and the girls sluts and whores and there ya go: cheerleading as we know it today is gone

Think about it!

Is it part of American culture?

Then the left will be at war with it.

It wasn't "the left" who insisted on helmets and face shields. It was parents of kids and owners of teams who had huge investments in their players.

Helmets aren't really the problem in the NHL. It's the speed of the game and the size of the players more than anything else. I think hockey can go a long way toward reducing head injuries by making all the protective gear OTHER THAN helmets thinner and lighter -- and by forcing wooden sticks back into the game.

I wonder what’s happening in the middle schools.

Farm teams.

I think the problem started when cheereaders stopped dressing and acting like cheerleaders and started dressing and acting like hookers.

That would be the root cause if Americans were against cheerleaders. And it does slow down the attack from the left. A little. Very little.

But it goes for the big colleges as well.

In the little colleges, you can side on the first seats of the bleachers and be 20 feet away from the cheerleaders.

“Perhaps this is a smaller college?”

University of Florida. Peach Bowl.

Form a new league. The NFL is dead. Then hire the cheerleaders from defunct NFL teams
///////////////

Already done. Vince McMahon will debut the XFL in the 2020 season.

Yes it’s immoral for them to be dressed like prostitues.


It’s only been a hundred years or so since only prostitutes wore makeup. The red lips, the flushed looking cheeks ... all ready for sex. It would have been scandalous for a moral woman to go outside all painted up.

I am sure you did. But, these days gymnastics has been cut from thousands of high schools and colleges. It’s a combination of the title nine implications and the liability insurance. There is not a choice of doing both in a ton of places.

And cheerleader as “a sport” ( which if anyone has seen it up close will tell you is very athletic) has lead to college spirit teams, stomp teams and dance teams. Half time at division three basketball games turned into a mixture of Urban hip hop and a muffin top parade.

Everyone has a chance to perform. It really dilutes the talent pool.

That’s funny. TRADTIONAL America was very conservative in dress and behavior. This tradition of sluttiness is only about 40 years old,

I am not sure what history books you've been reading, but most frontier towns in places like Texas, the gold boom towns in California, Washington State etc were dens of iniquity and sin where prostitution thrived(on account of there being far more men than women). This goes back centuries not 40 years. There were several instances of mothers inducting their own daughters into the prostitution business and making money off them.

You may want to watch the John Wayne movie North to Alaska.

I remember that episode. It was disgusting. It was the last episode of Mork & Mindy that I watched, and it began my contempt for Robin Williams in particular and television programming in general.

Cheer leaders are irrelevant
//////////////

Nothing in American culture is irrelevant to the marxist revolutionaries destroying the country. Football, films, music, clothing, faith, family, sports, schooling, etc.. All are targets for destruction in the new revolution.
