Should the NFL get rid of Cheerleaders?
By: Turner Sports Desk
It's all fun and games until someone mentions taking the eye candy from America's number one sport. Apparently there is a large contention of anti-cheerleaders out there pressuring the NFL to do away with what has become a part of the sport. I cannot remember football without cheerleaders.

The Chicago Bears, Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns are the only teams without cheerleaders but given the winter temps in those cities I don't blame them. Hard to be eye candy with an eskimo suit on. I asked four ladies (all very good looking and smart) One said it was mildly degrading while the other called them brainless attention whores. The other two said cheerleading is cool because you can do a lot of community work and it does not degrade women at all. The men I've talked to were on the verge of passing out when I brought the topic up.
Anyway, this topic makes for interesting and thought provoking conversation.
