If the NFL had female refs, next thing you know some team might draft an openly gay player.

They hired the first woman a couple years ago already.

Kathryn Smith was hired as a full time assistant coach by BUF in 2016:


Katie Sowers was hired as a full time assistant coach by SF in 2017:


And they're both good looking as well, especially the one on the bottom.

Um...there are women at NFL games also, and no they are not all lesbians.
Well if they are not lesbians then I suspect they will be after the football players and not the gay guys who are dancing with the cheerleaders. I expect to see them in the entertainment industry but find it odd being on display at one of the most outward displays of testosterone in the world. Again ... I say why?

That is a stereotype.  Both of the guys I know who cheered in college are heterosexual and according to them the vast majority of the male cheerleaders are heterosexual.  As one of them pointed out the best part of the sport is all of the contact with very attractive females, that normally would not be acceptable outside a romantic relationship. He was one of two males on his high school cheer squad and went to the prom with the only girl on the football squad (kicker).  Yes, the two of them got a lot of ribbing about it.  And being they were both about the same size at the after party he put on her prom dress and she put on his tux.  He showed me the photo.

It is also non stereotypical because straight women love them some gay men. Smiley

I've known a few male cheerleaders and they were all pretty normal, straight dudes...more frat-boy types than anything.  In fact, the gay dudes I know don't really seem like the cheering type.

I would argue that the Dolphins have this in spades.  They just don't call them cheerleaders -- they call them the pep team or something.  There are really fit, athletic dudes out there doing t-shirt stuff, gymnastics, running around with flags and stuff.  This is just another level of that.

The Rams guys aren't male cheerleaders from what I saw! They are dancers. I have spent 10s of thousands of dollars on competitive cheer and know many, many guys who cheer and have done so at the collegiate Div I level. The guys are typically gymnasts.  Just as those cheer leading girls have little in common with the NFL cheerleader the Rams guys do not appear to have anything in common with them. UCF used to have one of the best teams in the country and I can tell you some of the guys were over 6'4" and could bench well over 400lbs.

^ I just looked these guys up and you're right.  These are dancers...not "male cheerleaders" in a traditional sense.

And they are going to the super bowl in their first season. In this copy cat league look for every team to consider if this was part of the reason.
