Reminds me of Washington Football Team. More of a literal description than an actual name.

Oh thank God someone is finally addressing the real, pressing problems with the Saints.

My God....could things get any more ridiculous?

Please don't tempt the universe....

Get rid of cheerleaders. Silly, cringe-worthy vestigial organ.

Exactly. Poor marketing here.

Saints Krewe would have been less cringey.

They had a good thing with the name Saintsations.

What was wrong with the Saintsations name?? What prompted the change?

Like several others on this thread, I would like to know (a) who made the decision--I am assuming Gayle or Lauscha--and (b) why was it made. The Saintsations offered certain positives. The current group offers little of value. The organization can simply end the cheer krewe experiment.

I understand the Saintsations were sexist. So are the LSU Golden Girls, but they are not going away anytime shortly. The young women who competed to be Saintsations had their reasons for doing so--an opportunity to be noticed with regard to modeling or business or entertainment; a chance to be seen by future suitors; ego; a fun time before settling down. But the whole idea of having males as dancers and a cheer squad for a professional football team seems absurd. Go back to the original concept or completely abandon it.

Just let the Baby Dolls come in and do their thing.

I had a friend who was a Saintsation back in the 90's, she got rolled over by a sideline camera truck. I knew a couple of others, they were really nice.

I don't think the name change is all that interesting, but my unneeded and unnecessary comment is about as relevant as the name change.

I just don't understand how the name Saintsations can be deemed sexist. It's an obvious play on saints and sensational. What is sexist or exclusionary about that? Is the name Temptations sexist too? I could see if they were the Flourdelettes or something. Saintsations sounds pretty neutral to me.

My daughters explained it to me yesterday. "Dad, they are a HYPE group not a dance team anymore"
