Rams, Saints to debut male cheerleaders

https://www.thescore.com/nfl/news/1581005

The Los Angeles Rams and New Orleans Saints will become the first two NFL teams to have men in their cheerleading squads this season.

While other teams employ stuntmen, the Rams and Saints are the first teams to have men dance as part of the cheerleading squad.

I'm just not progressive enough I guess. Are women and gay guys really clamoring for male cheerleaders? Are the men out on the field not enough for them to look at? I just don't get who this is for?

College Football has had co-gendered spirit squads forever.

Got to lift Sparky up to do those push ups after all

I believe women now make up nearly half of all fans in the NFL.

Great. Now WarnerTop3 will be too busy to fill our board with garbage.


I’ll be back in a sec. guys, I have to run over to our board to throw out a few homophobic slurs....






...seriously though, we went over this on our board a couple months ago when it was announced. I don’t have a strong opinion one way or another.

my strongest opinion on it was way back when the bible thumpers bullied the networks away from showing the cheerleaders on tv.... they used to give lots of nice footage of the ladies.... dont really show them at all now...so who cares

This almost makes me want to watch the NFL again but I'm still protesting until all of the players are forced to kneel for the anthem.

I'm surprised this thread has went this well. Lots of restraint being used at least on my part. This is a punch line waiting to happen thread. I can't take it I have to do it. The Ram's fans must be happier than a queer with a bag full of dick's having male cheer leaders. There I feel better now. :beer:

I don’t get men cheerleaders but I also think there is no point to have cheerleaders at all anymore

About time we got some equality around here, we all know males have been unfairly discriminated against in the cheerleading community. This is a huge win for the social justice warriors.

With Herm in charge, I don't think you'll be needing to worry about those pushups for awhile.

Cheerleaders are pointless in the NFL. They aren't even really cheering. Maybe if they actually riled up the crowd, did chants, you know....lead cheers.
