Once again, the term “streak” is being misused in the news media, as a group of Canadian high school cheerleaders are in semi-trouble for stripping down to their underwear and spraying the opposing football team with silly string. Apparently it’s a school tradition or something.
Twelve female high school students sporting only their underwear and duct tape around their breasts ran across a football field during their school team’s home game last week in Delta, B.C. The [school's] principal [said] he doesn’t want to see a repeat of the prank and has issued warnings to the Grade 12 students, most of them cheerleaders of the home team.
“We don’t take it lightly. This is a school. [In] schools, we hold higher ideals than we do in, say, the mall,” Ted Johnson told CBC News in an interview.
That’s obviously a lot of BS. If there were a mall where the high school girls only wore underwear and duct tape, I’m pretty sure I’d know about it. And live there.

Like most people who were breast-fed until age 10, I appreciate women with rock-hard asses and high-powered rifles.
Which is why I’m thrilled that members of the women’s Canadian biathlon team have gone au naturel for a calendar to raise money for the team. Hell, they’re even stripping down outside in the Canadian autumn:
Five of Canada’s top female biathletes roller skied along chilly Stephen Avenue Mall yesterday clad only in shorts and running bibs in an effort to stir up some buzz for their nude calendar: Bold Beautiful Biathlon.
Red Deer’s Zina Kocher, who captured Canada’s first world cup biathalon medal in a decade at the 2006 World Cup, said the sport is still overlooked compared to Europe, so disrobing to drum up awareness and funds wasn’t a hard sell.
This is why Title IX is bullshit, man. Hey ladies, if you wanna play sports, just get naked! Is it really so hard?
Calendars are available here, and I strongly recommend you purchase one. And then scan all the pictures and send them to me. I’d buy one myself, but that would violate my journalistic integrity. I can only support with words. Words like, “Take it off!” and “Yeah, that’s a gold-medal ass, baby!”

Much like the beloved American tradition, Canadia also has football on Thanksgiving. But they have their Thanksgiving in October, because everything’s been frozen for five weeks by the time late November rolls around.
For this year’s Thanksgiving Classic, the gay motorcycle club known as the Saskatchewan Roughriders traveled to Calgary to battle the Stampeders, and Saskatchewan’s fans traveled to Calgary to battle the cops. And certain lucky Canucks got punched in the face. I love happy endings.
The Canadian Football League. Three downs, bigger fields, and suckier touchdown celebrations.
Seriously. Duck duck goose. That’s not an illusion or a commercial or something. That’s a professional athlete celebrating a touchdown by gathering his teammates for a mock-up childhood game that they planned sometime before the game. This is why no one respects you, Canada.
The Blue Lightning are the Winnipeg Blue Bombers' cheerleading squad, and today we get photos of them at play in and out of uniform. Below are a few of the uniform-related ones; Don Chavez (of course) has a full gallery that reaches into what appear to be non-team-related events.
Notably, the wild-eyed and -haired blonde above is none other than their "highly affable" coach, Dena Clark. Her profile on the Blue Bombers' website includes an uplifting mission statement for her team:
“This is such a wonderful group of women,” Clark proudly stated when asked about her decision to return as coach for her third season… “I get to lead a group of young women on a path of positive thinking, healthy living, and athletic training. I am also in a position to help redefine the stereotype that is currently out there about cheerleaders… I take my job very seriously and look forward to the challenge of helping the general public see these women as the multi-talented group they are instead of a series of body parts on display”.
In that regard, candids of them reading to underprivileged kids might have been better than thong-grabbing and ass-smacking. Not that I'm complaining.
The MasterCard Memorial Cup is awarded to the champions of the Canadian Hockey League, a composite league consisting of over 60 teams from the Ontario Hockey League, Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, and Western Hockey League. This year's winners were the Spokane Chiefs, and to honor the Cup's arrival in the hands of an American team, the Chiefs promptly smashed the trophy in two. U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!
