Quite an interesting marketing technique

Hey, that sounds like the Reds idea of having cheerleaders; which I think, had more of a negative effect.

You never think of hockey having cheerleaders, but I went to an Indiana Ice game a few months ago and they did. It make the experience kind of different.

Uhhh, there is a difference between Professional Cheerleading and those PomPom shakers that they have at NFL games.

They're auditioning men and women so it seems that this will be serious cheerleading.

Looking at that list of judges, there is little doubt in my mind this will be more of a professional cheerleading/dance troupe than "t & a."

[Dvo]

They will act as "Ambassadors of Thrill..."

How dare they take my title?! Get me my minions and bring these impostors to the high court immediately!

Darn, it is ashame I am married, and have a child. I have always wanted to be a cheerleader, wondering if they will be doing pydamins.

I for one love this idea. A very interesting "think outside the box" technique.

Cheerleaders are usually incredible athletes.

My liftin buddy is a judge for Male Gymnastics and some of the guy that he coaches have gone on to Cheerlead in College. The dedication and training is quite impressive.
