1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:02,000
Speaker 1: Jonesy and Amanda's.

2
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 2: Let's get on down to the Jonesy demand of arms

3
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 2: for the pub test. Today, football cheerleaders do they pass

4
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 2: the pub test?

5
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 3: Paramount Eels are the latest Central club to drop their cheerleaders.

6
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 3: This has been a tradition of fifty years. They say

7
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,280
Speaker 3: they are doing it not out of political political correctness,

8
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 3: but to explore other entertainment avenues. Of course, South City

9
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:22,759
Speaker 3: started this in two thousand and seven by losing the

10
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 3: cheer girls but bringing in sort of drummers and this

11
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 3: unisex kind of entertainment. Yeah. So what do you think.

12
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 3: I mean that the whole lot of cheerleaders have got together,

13
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 3: past and present to say this is a great avenue

14
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 3: for young women. Many women have got who were cheerleaders,

15
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 3: have gone on to be doctors, to be lawyers, to

16
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 3: be Jennifer Hawkins. Don't think this is demeaning for women,

17
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 3: because it's not.

18
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 2: But I remember they said the same thing about page

19
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:53,559
Speaker 2: three girls in the newspaper all those years ago. They

20
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 2: said exactly the same.

21
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 3: You're right that it's their choice, but no.

22
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 2: One's saying, oh, we've missed the page three girl.

23
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 3: Bring that no, because time time marches on. Is it

24
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:04,039
Speaker 3: time for them to go? So what do you think

25
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 3: football cheerleaders? Do they pass the pub test?

26
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: Yeah? I think they.

27
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 4: Passed the pub test. Leave them there and maybe make

28
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 4: it the kids squad. You know, it's sort a bit

29
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 4: of boat opens it up avenue for them to be

30
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 4: getting different employment.

31
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: I think it's absolutely I'd like to know exactly why

32
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 1: they are doing this. Haven't cheerleader has been a part

33
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 1: of sport for last one hundred or years. Having this

34
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 1: decision made by management to cut them out when the

35
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: girls actually want to do it. I don't think that's fair.

36
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 2: It's true if the girls want to do it, what's

37
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 2: to stop them from doing it?

38
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 3: Or is it a bigger question of do we want

39
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 3: to see it? Is it doesn't enhance the game anymore?

40
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 3: That's probably the bigger question. No one's saying that those girls.

41
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 3: It's not slave labor.

42
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, the game need And you're running down the sideline

43
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 2: and you're going for that try? Does that help you

44
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 2: get that try?

45
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 3: It's more for the crowd, isn't it. I think the

46
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 3: cheerleaders a more celebration for the crowd, just to add

47
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 3: to the energy of the day.

48
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 2: I was thought they would spur on the players.

49
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 3: Interesting. I don't know. I would have thought it was

50
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 3: for the crowd.

51
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 4: There you go, Jonesy and Amanda's Nation
