Do the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders make a football game any less of a family experience? Do the dance teams at NBA games make it any less of a family experience?

I'm sure Reds games with cheerleaders aren't any less fan friendly than an afternoon in the bleachers at Wrigley.

I really don't see what the issue is. If you don't like cheerleaders, don't watch them. They are cheerleaders, not strippers.

It's not like ballparks are some sacred places. We've had a moose on a motercycle in Seattle, costumed characters in every ballpark, dot races or find the ball under the hidden hat on jumbotrons across the majors, a ferris wheel in a ballpark, not to mention people shooting t-shirts from guns and sling shotting products around the stands in many parks and a monkey jumping up and down on the big screen in anaheim and yet we want to complain about cheerleaders.

This really isn't an issue at all and I can't believe anyone would want to make it one.

The cheerleaders aren't going to ruin baseball in Cincinnati anymore than cheerleaders ruin a football or basketball game. Just because baseball hasn't previously had cheerleaders doesn't mean it's a bad idea.

I'm sorry Mr. T&A. Some people don't wish to subject their kids to scantily clad women at a sporting event. BTW, they're not 18 and able to legally decide for themselves.

If the ballpark wasn't a family venue, I'd say go for it. Girls dancing on the dugout doesn't enhance my baseball experience, only those pathetic individuals not happy with the women in their lives (if they exist).

You buy a baseball ticket to...watch baseball. :shock: Amazing. Revolutionary.

That's an excellent point. I'm too young to remember, but don't you think there was a big controversy the first time cheerleaders were at basketball or football games? Especially as they progressively wore less clothes. I don't think its a big deal. Vance kind of touched on this, but what is worse, some cheerleaders or a bunch of drunk fans hurling obscenities at the opposing team's players the whole game?

Not to try to disprove your point Vance because I do agree with you about the cheerleaders, but you've obviously never been to an Oakland Raiders game. I don't know about the other stadiums, but a Raiders game is hardly what I would call a family venue.

vance_the_cubs_fan · April 15, 2006

I've been to a number of NFL games, and while they are more intense than MLB games on average, I still think they are family venues, at least as much as a MLB game is.

I don't think the presence of some cheerleaders make a sporting event no longer a family venue. God forbid, I can't take my child to the local high school football game because those cheerleaders and dancers are going to be shaking it at halftime.

Maybe we should make all these women wear long denim skirts, no make-up, don't cut their hair and don't style it.

Yes I have sat in the bleachers. I wouldn't bring my kids there. The problem with the cheerleaders (standing on top of the dugout) is that is where the tourists sit with their families, if you haven't noticed.

No, the NFL isn't a family venue for the most part, depending on where you sit (and what stadium). If you're far away from the cheerleaders and away from the drunks, it's perfectly ok for kids.

I don't care that people want to drink and look at chicks. Fine. Just don't do it around my kids. I'd rather my kids grow up respecting women.

Actually dugout seats are usually the seats held by season ticket holders or brokers. Try to call up the box office at most stadia and get a seat a few rows behind the dugout. It's usually not there.

The fact is, no matter where you sit, there are going to be people drinking. I still don't see how having cheerleaders makes it any less of a family environment. They aren't even that scantily clad, no more than a lot of women in the stands.

Jon · April 15, 2006

Cheerleaders are just another example of teams showing no respect to the actual baseball fans who go to games. The marketing departments of these teams only care about getting families through the gates, not getting them to watch the game. That's why they send the women off for free massages or makeovers (see Miller Park) and the kids into playgrounds (see a bunch of stadiums). They care about parking, food sales, beverage sales, and ticket sales, not enhancing the baseball experience. That's why jumbotrons are used for horrible contests and giveaways between innings and never to actually show replays.

Baseball stadiums are becoming far less baseball fan friendly. I never really noticed that until I went to the GABP and Miller Park. I was really surprised when the Brewers actually told women to stop watching the game and go get a free massage in the concourse. Now, not so much. They think people need to be constantly entertained by flashy, noisy stuff whenever there's even a slight break in the action. It's sad.

Just another reason why Wrigley is amazing.

I don't know what bad behavior you're referring to. So, do you think cheerleaders at high school sports and high school dance teams are inappropriate too?

Cheerleaders and dancers are a part of the sports culture. Equating it with adult entertainment is ridiculous and over the top. Shielding your children from everything usually has disasterous results as well.
