We need to talk about what's lost when one of the only windows into the world of professional cheerleading is suddenly slammed shut.
We need to talk about what's lost when one of the only windows into the world of professional cheerleading is suddenly slammed shut.What started as a sort of ragtag, co-ed high school cheer squad in the 1960s eventually morphed into what we now know as the smiling, star-studded-vests- and tiny-white-short-shorts-wearing Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders.
Jones is her biological father and that the multi-billionaire had paid his baby mama hundreds of thousands of dollars in 1996 to keep the child’s existence hush-hush. In the span of mere weeks, the Cowboys’ spotless reputation appeared to be going up in flames. Not even a month later, the CMT show chronicling the lives and hardships of the team’s cheerleaders was canceled—almost certainly a decision the NFL had some influence in.
While there’s no proof that these scandals amidst Dallas team executives are the direct cause for the DCC show getting the boot, there’s certainly precedence for this sort of fallout. In 2014, after five former Buffalo Jills cheerleaders filed a lawsuit against their team, the Buffalo Bills, alleging wage theft and groping, the organizationon the Dallas Mavericks’ misogynistic workplace, and the organization soon after disbanded its dance team.
Though the line of causation can’t be drawn definitively in the sand, even the optics of such a move are indicative of a larger cultural shift that doesn’t favor professional cheerleaders.
No other television show has so accurately depicted the ugliest nor the most beautiful moments of NFL cheerleading. When we lose forums like this, we lose these women’s humanity and effectively turn them back into the sex object stereotypes they’ve been fighting so fiercely against. Knowingis now potentially gone for good says an awful lot about where the culture is shifting: away from these women who’ve done nothing but dream about doing what they do today.
