NY Jets Cheerleader Squad - Drag Queens Welcome

At least according to the choreographer:

GARVEY: We don't have any strict requirements - no weight or height requirements - we have all different girls on the team and all different girls looking to try out..."

REPORTER: There's not the kind of human variety you might find in a supermarket checkout line - the largest body is about a size "6″ -and there are no male cheerleader wannabe's.

GARVEY: we haven't had any men apply... we are looking for young women.

REPORTER: If there was a mind blowing drag queen?

GARVEY: I guess everyone deserves a fair chance - so that would be my attitude.

Let's be honest, the reason cheerleader squads exist isn't to help the players with that extra bit of motivation. It's to attract drunk guys who want to fantasize they can bang the bejeezus out of the girls thereby driving up TV ratings and increasing ad revenue. If they know that the girl could be a guy who is hung to his knees that might kill the mood, or if they are drunk enough maybe not, but I am betting the NFL and the team aren't willing to take the chance.
