    The trend right now is to dump cheerleaders to desexualize women in pro sports. I don't mind. I've always thought if a sport needs cheerleaders then the product isn't up to scratch.

    The Red rowdies will no longer be paid, and that's just wrong.

    Even if this was true, who the **** cares? Cheerleaders are one of the dumbest things about sports. You go to watch the game.

    The red rowdies are sponsored by Budweiser, not the Rockets.

    The Red Rowdies are just a front for the crime syndicate in Houston. Easy way to clean the money.

    Since I was a young lad I was all about the RPD, I always thought they were soooooo hot. I remember there was an era in the late 90's/early 2000's (pajama unis era) when the RPD were parading about in white latex pants - super tight, shiny, and almost see through, it was nuts. As an adult I would have considered that not family friendly at all, as an adolescent at that time I thought it was great. Win or lose, I still got to see the honeys! They have gone way more conservative in recent years.

    Before the internet, people went to the beaches and the games to see hot women. Not needed anymore. It's just a waste of time to send them onto the court. It does enhance the overall happiness level of the buyer, but not by much. I barely even notice them anymore. If you put them in my section and give me a santa clause moment where they sit on my lap, that raises the bar a little and adds to the experience, and then they might be worth the expense.

    But then why do they have all these hot women to be courtside reporters?

    It gives redneck Texans only fans something to look at when they get dragged to games.

    compared to what you see in europe, the RPD / Clutch City Dancers are not really that hot. but their actual dancing & choreography are nothing short of amazing and do add something to the arena experience imo

    The shelf life for the Red Rowdies is surely about to expire. Lower bowl tickets giving out for free.......

    My bad. I just saw that Budweiser pays their tab.
