The Hot Squad makes sense to me

by Simon, SimonOnSports

Call me non-understanding or completely chauvinist, but I've never really gotten the point of professional cheerleaders. What kind of cheering do they actually do to get you pumped up for a game with superstar athletes? Aren't you already motivated enough to yell and get loud and get pissed simply because you wagered your entire 2008 salary on your favorite team covering the spread, that you don't need a 100 pound female to tell you to be obnoxiously loud when the other team is going to snap.

To me, professional cheerleaders are at best eye candy to cheer you up when your team is getting trounced and you're depressed about the 50 bones you just dropped on 3 beers and some cheese fries. Are they really there for anything else than for the fat slob in the front row to drool over the smoking hot 23 year old with the perfect body that he's never going to lay a finger on? I think we can pretty much all agree that is there only true purpose. So why then do they have dumb names like Cheerleaders, or Flight Crew or Laker Girls? Why not just admit what they are there for a name them the Hot Squad or something along those lines.

Well, leave it to Australians to figure it out. The North Queensland Cowboys name their 'Cheerleading Crew' that exact name, they are the Hot Squad. Their purpose? To be hot. That's it.

Thank You Australia for just being blunt and to the point.
