Apparently the Crew has a dance team in development. http://www.thecrew.com/show.cfm?article=256&header=TEAM
When it comes to cheerleaders at soccer games, my answer is a 100% unambiguous "Hell no." (However, I would not be opposed if MLS decided to have hot chicks in tight t-shirts and short shorts on the sidelines as ballgirls, instead of the snot-nosed punk-ass kids that they currently employ. Think "Hooters waitresses as ballgirls.")

Cheerleader are cute, entertaining to watch, I remember the Cosmos having them. But if it's going to cost money to have them I say no to the idea. recently watching a Bundesliga game on FSW, maybe Bayer Munchen, i saw they had cheerleaders. I must say I love the one word responses that some of you have. Very entertaining.
IIRC, both Hunt teams do have, and I think they have them in Denver too (used to have at least, may not have them anymore now that they're at Invesco). That's it though. We're doing our best to roll them back, but recently we suffered a grave defeat and we're back to 30% of league teams with.
Columbus Crappy photo, but here are the "Crewsers" practicing their halftime routine in the tunnel during the first half of play.
Given that the director of communications for MLS used to work for the XFL, I think we should lobby him for the cheerleaders.
I'd consider HOT ballgirls in g-strings that are prohibited from bending at the knees to pick up loose balls...but nothing less than that.
Some of the Wizards cheerleaders are attractive, but I just dont get the cheerleader concept for soccer. These cheerleaders are the Cheifs cheerleader rejects. But it is fun to listen to some of the drunk guys give the cheerleaders crap.
Better than other XFL ideas. Though the on-field camara man at a soccer match might be pretty funny a couple of times.
Don't the Rhinos have hot tubs? I don't think we really need those, but based on their attendance vs. the rest of their league, it might help.
