sports.espn.go.com — Russell Crowe says his rugby league club's cheerleading squad is being cut because skimpily clad cheerleaders detract from the game and make spectators uncomfortable. "It makes women uncomfortable and it makes blokes who take their son to the football also uncomfortable," Crowe was quoted as saying in News Ltd. newspapers Friday.

So that's what "Scantily clad" is huh? I was expecting thongs and pasties. Okay, I was hoping for thongs and pasties.

I don't get the big deal with people and cheerleaders. I mean, there's a stereotype of cheerleaders being ultra beautiful teen girls who men would kill to have.Maybe I just went to an abnormal school. Back when I was still in high schools, prep rallies used to be a fun time and the girls were, as expected, pretty (though I wouldn't say beautiful). Then one day, the school started putting these hideous, overweight women in cheerleading uniforms. Maybe it was for political correctness, maybe they actually thought the girls were beautiful, whatever the reason, that was the day I decided that I rather have classes than go to prep rallies.I'm being serious too. The only reason why I thought rallies were noteworthy at all were the cheerleaders. I sure as hell don't want to go anywhere to see a bunch of people do stupid break-dancing techniques or to see a bunch of football players receive awards.

Please America... take Russell Crowe... we don't want him here anymore....The cheer leaders in a rugby game don't really do much unless someone scored a try or during half time... so there's nothing else to look at except the cheer leaders. I haven't met anyone that has had a problem with them.

"Russell Crowe says his rugby league club's cheerleading squad is being cut because skimpily clad cheerleaders detract from the game and make spectators uncomfortable."This just in... rugby game attendance at an all time low after Russell Crowe's comments.
