You Can Play: LA Rams to introduce male cheerleaders

Post by USN_Hokie »

:lol:
For the first time in NFL history, the Los Angeles Rams announced that two men would join its cheerleading squad.

Quinton Peron and Napolean Jinnies will step out on the field this season, cheering and dancing alongside the previously all-female team.

Yeah, I'm guessing they will also kneel during the anthem to protest "equality". Should get a great reception if so.

Saw the story on GMA right before I left for the office, let me just say that they do not have to worry about a seperate locker room for the two "guys". They will only be lusting after each other, the ladies can do anything around them and they will never notice. All we need now are waiters at hooters, twin peaks or Tilted kilt

1. Wouldn't it be sex discrimination if a team refused to hire a man solely because of his sex?

2. Virginia Tech, and basically every other college, has male cheerleaders.

Are there male High tech dancers at VT?

Do you agree that NFL cheerleaders are not the same as college and HS cheerleaders...... the costume is much different and is targeted to a male audience which is the majority of NFL stadium fans. I thought about your point but to say Pro NFL cheer teams are the same as college cheer teams is being really false

I agree with your point #1. Yes it is but for common practice we do realize there are some jobs that special requirements are for that job. Are there men modeling high fashion female dresses in New York during fashion week. Yes in the real world there are some jobs that only men do and some that only females do.

An ex-Saints cheerleader is suing the team for discrimination because cheerleaders rules are different than the players.

NFL teams are more likely to rid their organizations of female cheerleaders than add male ones.

Sounds fabulous.

The Rams are going to be good next year.
