From there, I get all scientific with it, but that’s another story for another day. I want to tell you what I came across while doing this, and it will absolutely blow your mind. (I actually took a break from looking for bets...

Justine Lindsay, who became the NFL‘s first trans cheerleader in 2022, is now opening up about why she was fired in August. Lindsay told her story in an Instagram Live video, saying she was cut from the Carolina Panthers’ dance team, TopCats, because of her trans identity. “I was cut because I’m trans,” Lindsay said on the stream, according to Them. “I don’t wanna hear nobody saying ‘She didn’t wanna come back.’ Why the hell would I not wanna come back to an organization that I’ve been a part of for three years?” Lindsay added that she was “devastated” and...
