MC Hamburg Posted May 13, 2018 Posted May 13, 2018 Im not clear why after all these years we still don't have a cheerleading squad...are we the only NFL team to not have them? I know there was a lawsuit of some sorts but isn't it settled by now?

Do we really need half-naked women dancing? This isn't just a sport for men anymore. Women and children watch it. Let's grow with the times not get stuck in old ones.

JaCrispy Posted May 13, 2018 Posted May 13, 2018 (edited) Because Bills cheerleaders were the ugliest in the league, and an embarrassment to the entire city... unless they hire professional models/dancers like the cowboys, I don’t want them back. Edited May 13, 2018 by JaCrispy 2 2
Dirtbag Posted May 13, 2018 Posted May 13, 2018 the bills were contractually obligated to remove the jills as part of the deal that made original pizza logs the team's official finger food. 1 3
26CornerBlitz Posted May 13, 2018 Posted May 13, 2018 No place in the NFL for cheerleaders in 2018 Some owners understand that. Of the 32 teams, there are six – the Chicago Bears, Buffalo Bills, Cleveland Browns, New York Giants, Pittsburgh Steelers and Green Bay Packers – that don’t have cheerleaders. 1

I know there was a lawsuit of some sorts but isn't it settled by now? No, the Bills are not the only team without cheerleaders. As for clarity: They were a legal liability; the Jills sued the Bills. In fact, the Saints and Redskins are currently being sued by former cheerleaders. They add nothing to the gameday experience, and it's not worth the lawsuits for 'hostile working environments' when they're sent to be ambassadors (in skimpy outfits) to meet degenerate 'fans' who act like women exist to be groped.

You’d need to foot the bill to have model/dancers cheer for a new Jills squad. The reality is that models/dancers aren’t going to donate their services for free. The Cowgirls have a prestige that is second to none. The Jills squad consisted of women who just wanted to have a fun experience. After all, isn’t that what life is all about? With that said, this is non-sorry. The Jills are mentioned more often than high level business meetings on TBD. They aren’t coming back, and there isn’t much more to be said imo.
Kirby Jackson Posted May 13, 2018 Posted May 13, 2018 (edited) The wishbone is a more modern idea than cheerleaders in the NFL. It’s 2018. There is no place for them in today’s NFL. Edited May 13, 2018 by Kirby Jackson 2

People are WAY too politically correct these days and nothing good can come from what would inevitably be viewed as the objectification of women. 1 1

Most of the people who complain about objectification of women have ZERO problem with women who choose to use their sexuality to advance their position. It’s hypocrisy and stupidity masquerading as progressive thought. Better just to avoid the controversy. 5

Sports are watched by many women and children, there is no need for half-naked women in sports. It makes zero sense from a business standpoint. It's honestly disgusting. Absolutely no need for them in any sport. Edited May 13, 2018 by Buffalo30 1
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted May 13, 2018 Posted May 13, 2018 Another year another cheerleader conflict the trend isn’t good

It all becomes a vicious cycle. This movement reminds me of how one can become so conservative that they become liberal, and vice versa. If society demands that all “objectification” ends through changing our culture, aren’t we potentially taking away some freedom of women? 1

LeGOATski Posted May 13, 2018 Posted May 13, 2018 I'd rather they hired a real dance team. So, at some point in the game, you're entertained by a quality dance routine. The position would be open to all dancers, not just women, obviously.
