Mom's jitters give way to pride as Jesse Hernandez debuts as first male Saintsation
The New Orleans Advocate ^ | August 18th, 2018 | BY RAMON ANTONIO VARGAS

After spending about $100 on lower-bowl tickets and driving 2½ hours from the Lafayette area, Tracey Hernandez was nervous as she took her seat near midfield of the Mercedes-Benz Superdome on Friday night.

It wasn’t the preseason game the Saints were about to play against Arizona that worried her — the dance instructor hardly watches football. What mattered to her was how her son, Jesse, would fare in his debut as the first-ever male member of the Saintsations, New Orleans’ NFL dance team.

The crowd in the stadium was the biggest Jesse had performed in front of since his dancing career began 23 years ago, at the age of 2.

The teasing and taunts he braved when he became the first boy to perform on the dance team at North Vermilion High School in his hometown of Maurice still stung Tracey.

But she calmed herself by reciting Jesse’s achievements up to this point — the competitions he’s won, the instructor gigs, his stint coaching the dance team for a minor-league hockey franchise in Lafayette that she herself once danced for.

Just in case you need another reason to give up the NFL.

I don't. But by all means give me more. LOL

Wondering when the NFL will have a quota for trannys on the teams?

I agree it’s harmless.

But it’s certainly off-putting to the core fan base.

He needs RuPaul to design a better uniform to go along with his flaming gayness.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Ah yes, a macho sport like NFL football needs to appeal more to the limp wrist set of society. That will really draw in the crowds, right NFL?

Pink uniforms on players who disrespect the USA & faggot cheerleaders. Yeah, that’s going to bring in the fans.

Yes, but what is the purpose or goal? It is obviously not to attract and entertain heterosexual men.

Do men go to women's mud wrestling or wet t shirt contests to see gay men? There is a practical reason they hire attractive women to be cheerleaders and then dress them in tight, skimpy clothes.

#10: " It is obviously not to attract and entertain heterosexual men."

It's obviously not to attract heterosexual women. I'm a man, but I saw this "guy's" picture and I don't know any woman who would consider him a "hunk". He's a skinny Pee Wee Herman with a nascent pot belly. He looks like someone who would call his mom when he gets a flat so that she can change his tire.

OK. I am a straight woman and in my 70’s. This really turns me off.

I am not certain exactly who the NFL thinks will enjoy watching a young man dancing on the field with the women cheer leaders. No straight men would like it, unless they are fantasizing that they are dancing with the curvaceous cheer leaders???

There’s the problem, right there.

When dealing with SJW convergence, it’s necessary to look at the entire pattern of events and not single parts or pieces of the process.

Looks to me like the NFL is just spitting in the fans faces.
