As part of an effort to embrace “inclusivity” and “strength,” the Washington Football Team (WFT) has opted to replace their traditional all-female cheerleading squad with a co-ed dance team. WFT senior adviser Petra Pope told USA Today that the club’s decision to forego the traditional cheerleading arrangement is part of an effort to promote a”skillset of being super athletic, which is what we’re really honing in on.” Pope explained, “We want to be more inclusive, so we are going to invite a coed entity (to audition).
We’re able to do more things with the strength of a male, and lifts, so that’s changed a great deal. The inclusivity, strength, and interest of choreography has changed.” Pope stressed that while all of the WFT’s cheerleading contracts have expired, all performers on last year’s squad are welcome to audition for the 2021 dance squad. Another possible motive for the WFT’s sudden change in cheerleading philosophies can be found in the team’s ongoing sexual harassment lawsuit with more than 40 women, including cheerleaders from the 2008 and 2010 squads. As USA Today reports: The organization has also faced claims of sexual harassment, including 40 women described in two Washington Post stories last year. Among them were members of the 2008 and 2010 cheerleading squads, after allegations emerged claiming that club employees created videos of outtakes from calendar shoots when the women weren’t fully dressed. The franchise has denied the existence of videos, which the Post said it had reviewed. Cindy Minniti, an attorney representing the team and owner Daniel Snyder, told USA TODAY Sports the matter ‘has been resolved.’ The team reached a settlement with former cheerleaders in 2020, a person with knowledge of the settlement confirmed to USA TODAY Sports.

Thought the 9ers would be the first.
Washington Wokes
After this last season, along with a few other recent seasons, maybe the rest of the teams in the NFC East, need to give up their mascot names as well. Until any of them finish a season with a winning record, no name.
The “Washington HeeShes” is catchier.
Seems only fair when they go co-ed on the field as they do the sidelines.
I’m just a sweet transvestite . . . from Transexual, . . . Transylvania!
Coke Goes Woke and Broke! Brands go woke because they’re going broke!

“Get woke, go broke”, is a conservative meme about the cost of political correctness that has it the wrong way around. Brands don’t go broke because they get woke, they go woke because they’re going broke, and don’t know how to stop the slow but steady collapse of their business.

That’s pretty rude there buff. I don’t think the cheerleaders were there for you.
And don’t forget that they’ll probably add transgenders as part of the females hired.
GREEN MACHINE!
GREEN MACHINE!
To WTF.....
My gaydar just broke.
Something to work for, but at the moment I believe their pronouns are he/him.
LOL!
They could just call them ‘The Reds’.
(I’m not sure if Democrat-controlled DC would like or object to that...)
This is all so funny to me, because my high-school sweetheart was Eastern Band Cherokee, and he was very proud of the Redskins. And the last big survey taken among Native Americans proved that the vast majority - something like more than 80% - had no objection to the name.
This is another case of privileged white people deciding what ‘People of Color’ should think.
I say they should name the team after two important DC pols. Former DC mayor Marion Barry and the longest-serving member of Congress in American history, John Dingell. So they would be;
The Washington Dingellbarrys
Very clever.
Lol!
Ghey and sad.
