An old clip of CBS Sports commentators discussing NFL cheerleaders from a 1978 Washington Redskins has resurfaced online and gone viral. 

The commentators in question openly admired the scantily-clad women while they prepared for their routine on the sideline, with one of them observing that the “Redskinette’s have new uniforms.”

“I like it,” the other replied, to which his partner said, “Thought you might.”

“Nothing wrong with s*x and football,” one of them was heard saying. 

“CBS sports commentators were admiring the cheerleader uniforms during a Redskins game in 1978 and its about what you would expect in 1978,” the caption to the video reads. 

Check it out right below:

The 70’s were a massively different era. Such comments were commonplace, and no one would have been cancelled over them.

Should a commentator say something like this today, be it at CBS Sports or any other network, it would mark his final day of work. And that’s provided he would be allowed to finish covering the game. 

NFL Cheerleaders Talked About For Very Different Reasons

Simply put, this is not flying in the 2020s. But NFL cheerleaders are still talking points in today’s game, whether it be for refusal to wear a bra or transgender controversy – of course, not among commentators.

As expected, the post drew numerous comments. It was viewed over a million times, after all. 

“I’m on season 13 of this video. Disgusting!😁” someone quipped.

“Ahhh the 70s, back when women were reliably women,” said a second.

“God how I loved my childhood,” added a third.

“Peak 1978 energy … zero filters, questionable professionalism, and enough awkwardness to power an entire retro highlight reel. 😂😂,” wrote a fourth.

“I love it. Take your political correctness and shove it! God bless those guys…and gals!” one fan commented.

“Good ol days. When things were NORMAL,” someone else claimed.

While fans think this is great, today’s announcers shouldn’t get any ideas.
