Ever since Roger Goddell took over the NFL, being a no-fun nerdlinger has become contagious and it’s spreading. First, fans had to endure the pain that was Adam Archulta’s nerd-gate. Now, we find out that football players have become afraid of girls. Girls in hot pants, specifically. They’ve asked the league to stop allowing the home team’s cheerleaders warm up in front of the visiting team’s locker room.

No longer will [the cheerleaders] be allowed to warm up in front of the visiting team lockerroom or do their stretching in front of the visiting team lockerroom or they can’t go in the tunnel! The reason? Some players feel they were being a little distracted.

We understand the idea of having laser-focus before a game, but if you’re distracted for a couple of minutes by a couple of girls trying their Shakira moves 20 minutes before kickoff, maybe you shouldn’t be in the NFL.
