Former Detroit Lions Cheerleader

Cheerleaders who flaunt their wares in front of visiting teams will be banned by the NFL, a news report indicated on Monday. The problem has become cataclysmic.
The NFL has sent a memo out to all major league teams, according to CBS NFL analyst Charlie Casserly.
Basically, home teams are not permitted to tell their cheerleaders to warm up, stretch, or otherwise do anything in front of the visiting team's bench that might distract the players before the game.

I remember that hilarious scene when the cheerleaders were very "friendly."
An overreaction, IMHO. I should think a few spankings ought to take care of the situation.

‘Yes, the NFL is a private entity, but the level of control they are trying to extend over the teams is pretty oppressive. Football is supposed to be entertainment, but the NFL league offices are doing everything they can to crush any type of individuality out of teams and players, and it’s just sad.’
Riiiight, thats why we get Ocho Cinco commercials every fifteen minutes on the NFL Network broadcasts....because they are crushing ‘any type of individuality out of teams and players....’
Riiiight....
Damn You!

Hillary Clinton was a cheerleader?
For the WNBA. (But she denies that of course) ;~))
I attended obtained my MBA from SMU in 1978. One of my classmates earned her undergraduate and graduate degree while a member of the Dallas cheerleaders. She was Dean's list with a 3.8 GPA. We worked together as grad assistants in the Computer Lab!
Wowser!
What they are doing in that instance is pimping their own property. Ocho Cinco merchandise sells big.
I know! My house!
My home is the World Headquarters of the NLU. The NLU (Nat'l League of Uglybikers) is much more open-minded on such matters and would never even think of enacting such draconian measures!
‘What they are doing in that instance is pimping their own property. Ocho Cinco merchandise sells big.’
So does the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader calendars.
No, we just trot Brunhilda out on the field during warmups and scare the crap out of the opposition.
That’s not a Steeler cheerleader...
That’s this year’s starting center!!!
We do, but the Steelers used to have cheerleaders. They were called the “Steelerettes” and were students from a local college. According to legend, they were disbanded after a pyrimad they were making (this was old school chearleading) collapsed and Rooney Sr. was afraid they were going to hurt themselves.
Very different from the cheerleading we are discussing on this thread (not that there is anything wrong with the modern version).
I wish that was this year’s starting center, she is bigger than Mahan and would do a better job on the NT.
(in fairness, Mahan actually is playing pretty well).
Steelers chearleader ping
Hummm? They better double Big Ben's contract. ;~))
