There was so much shite in that article i couldn't care less about.

I want to punch that article in the face.

The most important thing to remember is that these women are in no way required to be Cheerleaders. It is something they want, and have to accept what comes with it.

And there’s speciesism underlying everything, from some actual “sports” like hunting to the food served at events and the materials of the equipment.

If you want to go into a career knowing that you are being portrayed as a sexual object, I don't understand why you bitch about being treated like a sexual object. I believe a woman does not have to be viewed and treated like a piece of meat, but don't put yourself in the situation where that is a necessity of the job.

When I interned I worked for free and somehow that is okay but this is not. Whatever. You know what is expected.

And she is one of the people I was talking about, posts a lot of pics with her and her fellow DCC.


I think cowboys are a bit of an oddity because there cheerleaders make decent money doing appearances. Plus recruiting loaded girls from tcu isn't a bad move.

Objectification in the flesh: Recalling infuriating images and language of slavery, one team has the women (dressed in skimpy bikinis) dunked into a body of water. If that wasn’t bad enough, they are then “auctioned off” to “ride around in a golf cart for the rest of the event with the winning bidder” as sexy trophies. And then it gets worse. Considering the small size of golf carts, the cheerleaders usually end up sitting on the bidders’ lap; it’s a cringing display of patriarchy, objectification and sexism.


This sounds like an awesome party.

My sister was a Saintsation a few years ago. I also had several friends from my high school dance team that did the same. They all said it sucked. None of them expected to get paid very much money but the "extras" were crazy. Worst were the men in suites (they were required to visit suites, occasionally) left bruises on their legs and bottoms from the "pats" and pinches.

Last I checked, no one is forcing these women to be NFL cheerleaders.

Apparently not because some cheerleaders just sued the Oakland Raiders and the NFL.LINK
