Going back a couple years, one woman wrote into one of the local papers complaining that the Felions were "not suitable for a football game"

I'm not saying that they belong in No 5, but the focus seems to have gone away from sex appeal more towards a substantive role in revving up the crowd.

My point was that if Miss Grey Cup and the Cheer Extravaganza are exploiting women, wouldn't the same apply to exotic dancers?

Well, the obvious difference is that the latter may feature nudity. And another difference is that it's clear exotic dancing is an adults only event, whereas most if not all events at a Grey Cup festival are supposed to be family friendly.

Isn't that also exploitation of people?
Are you saying the only differenc between the Felions and those dancing at No5 is that you don't get song number 3 and the shower?

Stay thirsty my friends.

The Cheer Extravaganza is a showcase of the talents of the cheerleaders (male and female) of the CFL. It is in NO WAY a competition. Each team showcases the hardwork that they have worked on throughout the whole of their season for all of the fans across the nation to see. It does not feature one dancer/cheerleader over another or one team over another. All are given the same amount of time to showcase their talent and skills.

Okay, so it's the competition aspect of the Miss Grey Cup contest that the organizers did not like and it's why they canceled it. But I'm sure those watching the cheer extravaganza will form their own opinions on which group put on the best showcase, so there's still some unofficial competition there.

I suppose it was either that, or force the Junior Felions to dress like the Felions - something which I'm sure their parents would find highly inappropriate.

Actually, they did something similar last year. As soon as it got cold, then went to a jacket. Last year it was black.

While we're on the topic of the jackets, a question for Christa: Are they the same jackets you had at Fanfest?

Hi Christa,

Has the squad been rehearsing for the 2007 Cheerleader Extravaganza event during Grey Cup week? What's the routine like?

Unlike last year's event which was a ticketed, indoor one, this year's event will be free and outdoors.
祝加拿大加式足球聯賽不列颠哥伦比亚卑詩雄獅隊今年贏格雷杯冠軍。此外祝溫哥華加人隊贏總統獎座·卡雲斯·甘保杯·史丹利盃。還每年祝溫哥華白頭浪隊贏美國足球大联盟杯。不要忘記每年祝溫哥華巨人贏西部冰球聯盟冠軍。
改建後的卑詩體育館於二十十一年九月三十日重新對外開放,首場體育活動為同日舉行的加拿大足球聯賽賽事,由主場的卑詩雄獅隊以三十三比二十四擊敗愛民頓愛斯基摩人隊。
祝你龍年行大運。
恭喜西雅图海鹰直到第四十八屆超級盃最終四十三比八大勝曾拿下兩次超級盃冠軍的丹佛野馬拿下隊史第一個超級盃冠軍。
ChristaMichelle

You will have to wait and see. Sorry cant let you in on all our secrets. All I can say is its gonna be great

I'm sure you will be able to find it on YouTube soon enough.

Unless the event was cancelled. Several outdoor events were cancelled on Thursday because it was freezing in Toronto, so I don't know if this outdoor event on Saturday was also cancelled.
