ASHBURN, Va. -- The Washington Football Team has discontinued its cheerleader program after more than 50 years, replacing it with a coed dance squad as part of its rebranding effort.
The team had announced last month that the cheerleader program was paused while it decided what direction the rebranding would take. Petra Pope, hired by the team as a senior adviser focused on creating game-day entertainment, said the goal is to create a "more modern franchise."
"With that comes inclusivity, diversity and in my mind, as an entertainer, athleticism," Pope told ESPN by phone. "My desire is to create a team that is all of that -- inclusive, diverse, coed, athletic -- to set the gold standard in the NFL. We're looking for that super athlete that can dance, perform tricks and stunts and manipulate whatever props that will create a really great show."
The cheerleaders' contracts expire March 31, but there are no events scheduled this month, and they are paid hourly.

I picture some strong dudes tossing skinny women into the air.
Once the "woke" crowd gets this teaming going anything is possible. I wonder where this will end up?
Guess the days of Danny Snyder banging/harassing the hot cheerleaders is over.
