Anyone once a professional cheerleader? Ie NFL- Washington Redskins, etc. what did you do after that

I love that every news story on the McDonnell corruption investigation refers to Virginia McDonnell as "the former Redskins cheerleader and Virginia First Lady now charged with 14 counts of corruption and obstruction of justice." Wonder if she'll organize a cheer squad in the pokey.

A recent former cheerleader married a doctor and is a SAHW.

Does your daughter have brains? If so, this is a harmless pursuit. If not, she may be distracted by it in school.

I don't see how cheerleading camp would lead to being an NFL cheerleader, except for a few people.

My mom was a cheerleader, my sister was a cheerleader and several of my cousins were cheerleaders, along with quite a few of my friends. They all also kicked ass academically and mostly have pretty successful careeers now. (not as cheerleaders.) Cheering doesn't automatically turn you into a bimbo.

my daughter wants to go to cheer camp next year and while the sarcastic/ironic chick inside me rolls her eyes at that, the supportive mom will sign her up.

I can't believe there are parents who actually aspire for their daughters to become cheerleaders -- at any level.

While I respect people like the PP wanting to be a supportive mom...

Yes, I did it and it was totally awesome!

I married a great vineyard owner and was invited to the poshest parties in town. I know everyone, and everyone loves me! I went on to star in my own reality series, too - became super famous when my sari was all over news channels and magazine covers! Unfortunately, my first marriage didn't work out, but I'm totally ok ~ I rebounded with a hot musician.

I say G-O 4 I-T!

LOL. Except that it was established that she was never on the squad! More spin from the Salahis.

Why would a parent want your daughter to shake her ass for a bunch of boys/men?

OP, your spouse is right.

Former redskin cheerleader again. You were not allowed to become a groupie or date a player. It was not like college or anything. Practices were no where near the players. It is not like there was interaction between us. In fact it was prohibited. During a game the players are not focused on them.

I think pro cheerleaders should get paid decently, especially since NFL and NBA are billion dollar businesses.

And to the pps denouncing cheerleading, you're acting like they're prostituting or something. People wear less at the beach.

It's gratuitous sexism. It's pathetic and sad.
