The Detroit Lions Are Getting Cheerleaders!

Cheerleaders. It’s one thing we can all agree on, regardless of our allegiances.

Cheerleaders rule!

The Detroit Lions, the junior varsity franchise of the NFC North, announced they’re adding cheerleaders for the 2016 season, on Monday. Or more accurately, the Lions are adding official cheerleaders.

The Lions previously had the Detroit Pride cheerleaders, but they were not technically Detroit Lions cheerleaders. What’s the difference?

The organization’s involvement.

Much like the Green Bay Packers don’t have cheerleaders, except that they do. The Packers’ cheerleaders are girls from UWGB and St. Norbert College, but since they’re not technically part of the organization, they’re not technically Packers cheerleaders.
