LUFC and San Francisco 49ers new partnership

[Sheepy]

Personally I find it very offensive - all those curves and beautiful faces. Disgusting

Lees is our quarter back for sure.

Girl at the front really needs to sort that wrinkly shirt out, I'd have her off the field right away

Dear members..

Having posted the picture of the cheerleaders I can now see how offensive that may be to some of our members who can not tolerate such things and are not as broad minded as others.

For this I apologise.

Thats better, sorry for the first pic, far too much red.

Great job Sheepy... now can you remove them the next time your dying them a different colour ?

[USA for Leeds]

Whoa! Great news! Allow me to explain:

The 49ers are the #1 NFL team in merchandise sales, and they have the #1 player in jersey sales (source is here). While the NFL negotiates their TV package as a league, it is up to individual teams to market their own merchandise. The 49ers are the best at it in the biggest sport in the country. Let me repeat that: they are the best sports marketing franchise here. And we are the richest country in the world. There are obviously some things we can learn from them, so that is very positive. And obviously it might lead to us having an increased marketing presence in America, which would certainly be a good thing as the game grows here.

What the 49ers get out of it is a toe in the door of the European market. Europe is a cash cow that the NFL desperately wants to tap into. I expect this deal will mean more NFL where you are. It also means more cheerleaders, which is never a bad thing. But if you don't like the NFL, well, they're going to keep trying. Too much money to ignore.

I'm in love nine times! When I played my home movie of our trip to the states it was a bit embarrassing when we got to the NFL game.....I seemed to have more video of the cheerleaders than the game!

George W Bush used to be a cheerleader, I suppose you all knew that

And when he got in power, he hired a Scottish cheerleader for himself, called Tony Blair.
