Donald Duck Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 This has nothing to do with liking beautiful women; it's an issue of whether or not they add anything to my game day experience. I don't pay to watch cheerleaders; I pay to watch football. If I wanted to pay to see beautiful women, I'd go to Niagara Falls, Ontario. As I said, I have no problem with the Jills, but if they never return I won't miss them. I'll post the same thing I just shouted, Its a mans game, in a mans world, don't take away the only contributions that allow woman to take part in the game. Its tradition to have cheerleaders at NFL home games, and not just NFL home games, almost all football home games. It should remain tradition IMO...
CSBill Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 gotta say the two preseason games were not the same without the Jills. shame on the Buffalo Bills for not financially supporting a cheerleading squad. No! Really, what did they ever contribute to the game atmosphere, others than some eye candy when the game was really slow. Which of course is why they are suing the Bills now.
Donald Duck Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 Hey Donald, I agree with you. I've been going to Bills games since the late 60's and always saw the Jills as a symbolic part of the Bills and the game day experience. I can't help but feel most if these butt holes have a deeply rooted make macho chauvinism and animosity towards woman in general, and especially to those who stand up for themselves. Just look at the last response to your post. If they aren't undressing or gyrating for him, him have no need for woman at football game. Pathetic. sigh, it is pretty sad, i agree
FloridaSnow Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 The whole cheerleading thing always seemed a bit archaic. Probably not a good idea to teach girls to view themselves as pretty objects that ornate the work done by men. This is less of an issue in high school and college but was taken to extremes in the NFL in the 90s (in terms of the outfits, the routines, etc.). That being said, I'm not going to get up in arms about cheerleading in the league (and the US as a whole). People can do what they want. I just don't think it's much of a loss, quite the opposite actually.
DallasBillsFan1 Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 Who cares. I'm not missing them. Better that they stay away.
Captain Hindsight Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 We are 1-0 without the Jill's? Coincidence?
thebandit27 Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 Hey Donald, I agree with you.

Just look at the last response to your post. If they aren't undressing or gyrating for him, him have no need for woman at football game. Pathetic. Calling me pathetic on the basis that I seemingly want women to undress or I have no use for them? Wow, I've seen massive ignorance before, but this level is a rarity. If you want to go to a football game and ogle women, go for it. That's not why I go there. I could care less if they're wearing goose-down parkas or their birthday suits, I'm not watching them. You can call me pathetic if you'd like, but you're the one that cares about whether or not women are shaking plastic streamers on the sideline. Me? I'm there to watch football, not women. The whole point about Niagara Falls was a joke to Duck, with whom I often joke in the Shoutbox. The point was that I'm not shelling out money to see women dance; even if I chose to do so, a football game with 70,000 others wouldn't be the best venue. You know what's pathetic? Self-righteous outrage over someone else not caring about a sideshow that adds nothing to the game day experience. Next time think before you insult people. Or don't, and be prepared to be dressed down (again). sigh, it is pretty sad, i agree So you agree that I'm pathetic Duck? After the way I've defended you over and over? This won't be forgotten. The whole cheerleading thing always seemed a bit archaic. Probably not a good idea to teach girls to view themselves as pretty objects that ornate the work done by men. This is less of an issue in high school and college but was taken to extremes in the NFL in the 90s (in terms of the outfits, the routines, etc.). That being said, I'm not going to get up in arms about cheerleading in the league (and the US as a whole). People can do what they want. I just don't think it's much of a loss, quite the opposite actually. Careful, apparently you're a pathetic chauvinist. Who cares. I'm not missing them. Better that they stay away. You too
Donald Duck Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 I'm going to make one last comment before I leave this thread alone. I can agree with someones generalization without agreeing to everything he or she has in a post. I don't appreciate getting called out for nothing.

Its tradition to have cheerleaders at NFL home games, and not just NFL home games, almost all football home games. It should remain tradition IMO... This is a pretty offensive comment. The "only thing" women can do in the game of football is to dance around and cheer for the men? Though they play in a horribly chauvinistic league, the LFL actually features women who PLAY football. Your comment is so condescending I doubt I'd pay attention to anything else you post in this thread. It equates to "Awww, let the girlies do their dance, they just like the foosball."

I can agree with someones generalization without agreeing to everything he or she has in a post. I don't appreciate getting called out for nothing. If I agreed with a post characterizing someone else as an objectifying, pathetic Neanderthal, you can be darn sure I'd expect that person to call me out. Furthermore, if such an inflammatory part of a post were something I disagreed with, you can be positive that I'd draw the line about it so as not to further insult the subject of those comments. You didn't. You flat-out agreed. Message received.
papazoid Posted September 13, 2014 Author Posted September 13, 2014 (edited) We are 1-0 without the Jill's? Coincidence? there were no cheerleaders for either team last week. but...be warned... The Honey Bears were the official cheerleading squad of the Chicago Bears franchise from 1976 until 1985. After the 1985 Bears, famous for their Super Bowl Shuffle, the McCaskey family decided to get rid of the Honey Bears, claiming their cheerleaders didn't fit the team's tough image. Many Chicago Bears fans claim the team lingers under a Honey Bear Curse, given their Bears haven't won a Super Bowl since. Edited September 13, 2014 by papazoid
3rdand12 Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 We are 1-0 without the Jill's? Coincidence? How did i miss that !Oh. I forgot. Thats why you are the Captain. Sir . well done , carry on .

Buffalo Barbarian Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 Well I think its sad nobody wants to stand up for something thats part of the Buffalo Bills and football tradition. Myself personally, I love beautiful woman, especially when they are wearing Bills colors and cheering our team on.
Clippers of Nfl Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 It's not like that we hate T&A, it is that said T&A doesn't add anything to the game. They weren't going into the stands to give you a lapdance, They weren't going topless for the pink ribbon game. Chances are slim that you were dating/married to one of them. If you were anything above the 15th row, you hardly noticed them to begin with. They weren't even the type of cheerleaders that do flip and break their necks when the guy cheerleader drops them. The drumline adds ambient noise that can be useful in game situations, that can be heard from any part of the stadium, and we'll get to watch them get frostbite in the lower bowl as they are drumming away in a blizzard. I stopped reading after "it's not like we hate T&A". Just kidding. The more t&a, the better! That's pretty much it. In other words WOULD I PREFER TO SEE PRETTY GIRLS IN SKIRTS? OR FAT NERDS PLAYING DRUMS? The answer will always favor female T&A. Always son! You know when women say, "Is that ALL men think about?" They are referring to guys like me. Bring back the Jills dammit!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are 1-0 without the Jill's? Coincidence? We have been 1-0 many times. Bring back the Jills dammit!!!!!!!!!!!!
QCity Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 Myself personally, I love beautiful woman I love beautiful women too Donald, but what's this have to do with the Jills?
Mr. WEO Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 This thread pins the unintentional humor meter...

Buffaloed in Pa Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 But Whaley says the steelers don`t have any. We are trying to become the stullers.
Best Player Available Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 I love beautiful women too Donald, but what's this have to do with the Jills? Good point!
Keukasmallies Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 (edited) I'll only consider the "Jills" if they add other genders to the squad and rename it the "Jacks and Jills, etc." This is the 21st Century, fellas, political correctness is the watch word. Additionally, I'd expect a representative number of LBGT folks on the squad. Edited September 13, 2014 by Keukasmallies
