Mom's jitters give way to pride as Jesse Hernandez debuts as first male Saintsation
2018-08-19
[TheAdvocate] After spending about $100 on lower-bowl tickets and driving 2½ hours from the Lafayette area, Tracey Hernandez was nervous as she took her seat near midfield of the Mercedes-Benz Superdome on Friday night.

It wasn’t the preseason game the Saints were about to play against Arizona that worried her ‐ the dance instructor hardly watches football. What mattered to her was how her son, Jesse, would fare in his debut as the first-ever male member of the Saintsations, New Orleans’ NFL dance team.The crowd in the stadium was the biggest Jesse had performed in front of since his dancing career began 23 years ago, at the age of 2.

#11  Pushed hard enough, far enough, fast enough, this might work, moneywise, given 1) there's a buttload of gay folk of all stripes within walking distance of the Dome (more or less), and 2) it's axiomatic to pretty much every "new Orleanian" that teh gayness is the sweetest smelling of sacred cows, proximity to which confers... well... help me out, Hemingway.

#10  Way to make the NFL gay, because you know the avegage customer of football likes to watch flamming men dance on TV..

As IowaHawk likes to say:

1. Identify a respected institution.
2. kill it.
3. gut it.
4. wear its carcass as a skin suit, while demanding respect.

#9  Further proof that commissioner Goodell's a squish who keeps getting rolled on shit like this. Why the NFL owners re-upped his contract last year is astounding.

#7  It's nice his mom loves him, but I have little interest in seeing her son prance about. Especially at a football game. Wanna bet I'm not the only one?

#6  WHo asked for this? Male cheerleaders are OK, they have them in college and high schools. But DANCERS? And doing the same routines as the females?

The NFL is trying really hard to drive away its traditional audience. Have the owners lost their minds, are they living in some progressive bubble... or both?
