Washington Dumps Cheerleaders

The Washington Football Team (it's painful writing those words) has decided to not have a traditional cheerleading squad. That's too bad. Years ago when the Rams were playing in Anaheim, I had front row end zone seats. The Rams were a horrible joke those last few years here before they blessed us locals and moved to St. Louis. Anyway, the best part of the game back then was the cheerleaders. From the vantage point of my seat I could almost reach out and touch them. Aahh, if only. Cheerleaders are good. They add that little something extra to the game day experience. The Washington Football Team has lost their collective marbles.

4,000 posts. That's what this post is about. I just couldn't wait.
Why are they getting rid of them??
Because they're crazy.
The No Fun League just became less fun.
Will they keep the hot dog cannon?
They better not, I find it threatening!!!! 😂😂😂
"We must get these weapons of war off our streets and out of our stadiums"
Seriously, I heard it is because they "trigger" some people. And.....I can't argue with that because they sure do trigger me. Do they ever!👯 🤸 👯
first the nickname, then cheerleaders, now the hot dog cannon. Can Washington make a good decision right now??
maybe they consider it a weapon of mass destruction.
George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
And Washington will still be a crappy team anyways lol
Add Washington to the list. The Buffalo Bills, Chicago Bears, Cleveland Browns, Green Bay Packers, New York Giants, Los Angeles Chargers, and the Pittsburgh Steelers don't have cheerleaders. The Packers do roll out various college squads from time to time but don't have an official squad

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
I didn't know that.
huh. another reason to hate the steelers
George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
Neither did I. I remember going to see the Pats at Buffalo and their cheerleaders were called the “Jills” I think?
The Jills disbanded in 2013. They were only officially endorsed by the Bills. Several cheerleaders sued both the Bills and the Bills organizations and the Jills are no more.
The Browns and Giants have never had cheerleaders.
The Lions didn't have official cheerleaders from 1975 to 2015. Probably felt they didnt need them. Not much to cheer about

This is not "newsworthy" IMHO, as it is not something that is unexpected.
Now what would be "newsworthy" would be a story reporting that the Dallas Cowboys decided to now longer have cheerleaders (The DCC).
Imagine the firestorm that would generate
I’m learning stuff today 🤷♂️
Not much to cheer about in the state of Michigan after the Red Wings won their 11th Stanley Cup in 2008.
The only thing that gave Michigan any pride the last 13 years is this guy...............
Most likely related to the scandals involving the team essentially trafficking them and distributing lewd videos of them.

Ok that sums it up pretty good 👍👍
Discretion is the better part of valor. So.....I'll think about what I'm thinking.............before I post it........
When your organization has shown a troubling propensity for objectifying women, you really have no choice but to get rid of your cheerleaders.
cheerleaders at NFL games was always a stupid thing, ranking right behind every Team needing to have a mascot. I've attended a lot of games, the last thing I need or want is a distraction during play and entertainment during time-outs.
good riddance.
Roaming lap dancers in the stands might be an option.
I think most Normal fans view Cheerleaders and Mascots as a fun way of adding to the atmosphere unless Ofcourse your part of the “I get offended by every little thing” crowd. Either way I think it’s does more good to have them then not but it’s definitely not a necessity.
DUMPED ?
Location ?
I'll Pick them up....
Were the Green Team !
Well I guess we don't need these BA... BA...BALL.
That's gonna leave a mark.
Nice pic of the galaxy
More like A thunder storm, ya know. FYI, its a very close rendering of the classic logo, ya know.
Have you ever played mudball ?
With the girl friends cheering ?
Another great pic of the galaxy
So was anyone else a little mildly disturbed by how much justacommen knows
about the history of NFL cheerleaders and which teams currently have cheerleaders?
Just kidding Mark!
Coincidentally, Mark owns the highest graded cheerleader team set on the PSA registry.

Wow, No Fun League strikes again
BTW, I have to say this again, whatever they call their team, PLEASE don't call them the Generals!! I'd just as soon they call themselves the Washington Generics (hey that'd be a fun nickname eh?) rather than the Generals!!
