There Will Be No Official Packers Or Steelers Eye Candy At The Super Bowl

I wish Tampa Bay was playing instead...

While the talking heads at ESPN are already breaking down the X's and O's of the Steelers and Packers, the intricacies of each team's defenses and what team has the early advantage and why, I'm concerned with something far more important.  Where the hell are all the cheerleaders going to be?

There won't be any from either of the teams that are squaring off in Super Bowl 45.

Yes, it's true.  The Pittsburgh Steelers and Green Bay Packers do not have official team cheerleaders.  And the reason they don't have team cheerleaders is...well I have no clue.  I don't have enough time to research it.  Plus, whatever the reason they had for making the decision to get rid of the cheerleaders is a stupid reason, plain and simple.  But I did see somewhere that the last time the Steelers had cheerleaders (called the Steelerettes), it was around the late 60's, early 70's.  That is far too long if you ask me.

But c'mon people, having cheerleaders cheering for your football team is the American way dammit.  Not having them should be against the law, or should get you slapped, or something.  Not to sound like a major chauvinist or anything, but I really, really like cheerleaders.  They're great in every way.

Believe it or not, there are six NFL franchises that don't have cheerleaders, for whatever reason.  The Steelers, Packers, New York Giants, Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions, and the Cleveland Browns have all shut down their team's cheerleaders at one point.  The fact that Detroit and Cleveland don't have cheerleaders is understandable though, because who wants to watch chicks from Detroit and/or Cleveland dance around in front of them at a football game.  Ya know?  We're kidding about that.  But seriously...  

Luckily, I'm guessing that since the Super Bowl is being held at Jerry-World, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones will make sure that there are plenty of hot women dancing on the sidelines and everywhere else for that matter.  That's because he is a true American hero, folks.  God bless Jerry Jones for doing this.
