Fans Erupt Over Cardinals Cheerleaders Being Forced To Leave Sidelines Permanently

The Arizona Cardinals got back in the win column this past weekend against the Los Angeles Chargers.   A 32-Yard field goal as time expired lifted Arizona to a 17-15 win over Los Angeles.  The win put them in second place in the NFC West and within one game of the Seattle Seahawks (4-3).

However, there was attention off the field as well during Arizona’s win, and it was for a surprising reason.

Fans Erupt Over Cardinals Cheerleaders Being Forced To Leave Sidelines Permanently

Many people are unhappy with the Arizona Cardinals’ treatment of their cheerleaders:

Friends and families of Arizona Cardinals Cheerleaders say the team was removed from the sidelines for Monday night’s prime-time football game against the Los Angeles Chargers.

There was a decent bit of controversy surrounding Monday night’s game between the Arizona Cardinals and Los Angeles Chargers as friends and families of the Cardinals Cheerleaders say the team was removed from the sidelines for Monday night’s prime time football game.

The change surprised many in the cheerleading community and their supporters, as the team’s usual presence during nearly three hours of game time was reduced to just 10 to 15 minutes.

The team’s cheerleading squad was only allowed to perform during breaks in the action.

FOX revealed that the Arizona Cardinals made this change to accommodate their new “premium seating” at State Farm Stadium.

Former Cardinals cheerleader Davis Berryhill did not mince words on her thoughts with the unexpected move

“It does hurt my heart a little bit that they won’t be out there tonight,” Berryhill said. “When I was on the team, seeing all the little girls in the stands was my favorite thing ever. For them to see a woman can be in professional sports. A woman can be in the NFL. I think having that representation of women is really important.”

Moreover, it was revealed that the cheerleaders only had four days’ notice that they wouldn’t perform at the game.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out for the rest of the season.
