Detroit Lions president Rod Wood has been divulging himself into the real issues for the team this offseason since taking over for Tom Lewand and his breathalyzer last year.
So what are those real issues?
How about the notion of the Lions possibly getting cheerleaders in the future?
Here’s what Wood said about that possibility according to Michael Rothstein of ESPN.
“It’s a very popular question and it’s one that, as I said before, is not off the table and I’m taking strong consideration,” Wood said during the team’s member summit for season-ticket holders at Ford Field. “Stay tuned.”
Previously the Lions’ stance has been a big no to cheerleaders. In fact Lewand back in 2014 told Mlive.com that the team was ‘proud’ to be one of six franchises in the NFL who don’t employ a cheerleading squad. As far as the idea (and possibility) goes I won’t comment on the irony in regards to the president actually being named Rod Wood or something like this happening for the first time in franchise history while having a female owner.
However I will say I really couldn’t care either way IF the Lions get cheerleaders. I do have a couple of demands though…
- DO NOT bring back high school cheerleading squads like the team had back during the Silverdome days. There’s nothing creepier than underage girls dancing around in front of a 300 pound drunk guy who scored front row seats from work.
- Don’t rip off the cheerleaders with shitty pay or insult them with handbooks telling them how to take a shower or why loofahs are bad.
Anyways Wood also talked about improving Ford Field’s Wi-Fi capabilities because you know… it is 2016 and if the team’s going to play like garbage fans may as well be able to surf the net.
