New Orleans Saints First Male Cheerleader Dances on the Field

You didn’t have to. I assume she voted for him at least twice. You know, to prove she’s not a racist.

 

I believe they all do.

 

Yeah I was thinking the same thing that colleges had MALE cheerleaders who cheer like MALES and do the heavy lifting. I don't see them prance.

 

Oh you just HAD to make us all "occur" on this guy being in it didn't you............

 

Hmm, What next. Male figure skaters?

 

Meanwhile, I went to fairly conservative school that had male yell leaders and went absolutely nuts at the idea of female cheerleaders. In both cases, some people will find any excuse at all to be offended.

 

Careful, you are going to give some poor soul the vapors. *Brushes off the fainting couch.*

 

. . . we're talking about sports fandom . . . what was that you were saying about collectives and cult-like joining? . . . because that's kind of fundamental to team fandom. This is why I love rodeo -- you cheer for individual accomplishment and sportsmanship, not team tribalism.

 

On this site, if you ain't offended, you ain't postin.

 

Because figure skating and the NFL are the same thing, same demographics, same relevance...

 

You, sur, have offended my honor. I demand satisfaction -- *glove slap*.

 

Nobody is offended, nauseated is more accurate.

 

don't guys go see see the players get hot and sweaty on the field anyways

meanwhile the religious right is removing the bikini portion of beauty pageants

 

Nauseated + caring enough to vocalize a complaint = offended.

 

If the settled science of chromosomes no longer matters then why are you assuming they’re males?

 

However you wish to view it, not much I can do about that.

 

No, we watch the games to see blacks inflict horrific injuries and brain damage on other blacks. The game is racist and needs to end.

 

I agree, now that we know the dangers to our children, I can't see future generations letting their children play the sport

 

the science is not as settled as once thought

that said I think cheerleaders are there to make men forget they came to the game to watch men run around on the field, playing rough with other men during the game

 

I'm sure there's some. Their favorite part happens immediately before all the running and such. Hut hut hike... mmm

 

On a serious note, while I loved playing the games, the bonding, the tribal attitude, I’m physically paying for it now. My hands and shoulders....they hurt real bad at times.

 

That was just cringe worthy. They have male cheerleaders at college games but they are doing different things than the women so it looks normal. This guy was doing the same exact dance moves as the females and it just looks ****ing awful. If I want to watch a drag show then I will watch Ru Paul.

 

Contact sports, for all their positive benefits, take a toll for sure.

 

I think people that watch the sport must get some feeling that they are actually part of the game, like watching someone ride a skateboard and hit the pavement, most of us can feel it when they scuff the pavement with their hands and knees, like it was us in their place, some must get the same effect from a tackle or touchdown

 

Well, riots do start over pro soccer and little league games.
