I went to vote for this and there's no option for TFC. I thought Bitchy the Hawk was our mascot. Someone needs to let the pointy foreheads at mlssoccer know.

We don't have a mascot... Bitchy isn't technically a mascot

[Adamo23]

Bitchy is probably our unofficial mascot

[SuperTCP]

They surveyed us a few years back - I think most of us said no to a mascot.

I would love for the Reds to introduce cheerleaders !!!

Nope to mascots. I gotta say I'm pretty happy to say TFC doesn't have one.

So many times Nope.

I know the trational footy supporter would not be into this but to attract the average 20 something guy looking for a fun afternoon out enjoying some cold beers with the boys it could be used from a marketing perspective.

So find a cheerleading event. The girls (and boys for that matter) would be so much more appreciative of the support that's actually for them instead of a distraction from a sporting event one can't keep their attention on.

Your marketing perspective offends me.

moxies and earls is going to be forced to change uniform policy, I imagine these cheerleader groups are going to be next

Oh for the love of... NO.

At no point during a game do people need to be distracted by anything.

Show up get beer, first half, washroom + beer, 2nd half, back to the bar. No TV timeouts, no dead time to be filled

I am just curious how other MLS teams involve their chearleaders into their game presentation and where they are situated with the nature of how footy flows.

Its a gimmick used in struggling markets. The game should be the selling point not the entertainment. my two cents

What? They've been around since at least 2011. I'm surprised you haven't seen them yet. I remember seeing them at one of the few away stadiums that have them. They were limited in game but have a halftime show.

literally the first search:

I usually youtube link it but I don't actually want people to see it. If you neeeeeed to know it was 2009 vs Toronto at halftime and it was not something for me. This must be the time I remember seeing them. They were very limited in their role during run of play.

That is my game day mantra week in week out!

FYR, sometimes I am in awe of how eloquent you can be. This sums up my position on this exactly. Up until right now I did not know Columbus had cheerleaders...

Having cheerleader telling when/where/how/what to do is the most plastic way to support the team that I can think of.

Just to think of this for 2 seconds... there are plenty of threads that get derailed on this site where people are arguing about what "authentic" supporting consists of. I think however that you'd get near unanimous opinion that cheerleading is not it.

[OgtheDim]

Columbus is NEVER something to be copied.

TFC's mascot is Shitty the Bed Shitter

[CanadaLFC]

lol thank god we don't have a mascot or cheerleaders.

Plastic sh** is for plastic fans.

We have bud girls somewhere in stadium or have had in the past, its simply not necessary.

Out on the patio before and after the game and around the stadium host when they are announcing a Bud give away, usually about 25 minutes before the game.

Ignored almost completely.

they used to try and lead marches from a couple of the bars around bmo... they may have gotten 10 people at most.

[Ben - D.O.W.]

It wouldn't matter to me if every other team in the league had them, they will never belong with football to me.

[Deltron]

Silly mascots are for kids! and the cheerleaders belong to NFL and CFL games cause the play on the field isn't worth watching so you need something else to look at.

What the eff is this ... #Vancouver #Fail

Didn't you hear?

BJ Bird retired to Abbotsford and is getting some weekly exercise down at the rec centre playing indoor.

[JonO]

Although I am not for cheerleaders, I don't think it can be said that they don't belong in football. In fact, I think they are fairly common in South American football (although I may be mistaken), just not European football.

RED IS OUR MASCOT!!!
'Nuff said!

Bitchy the hawk is our real life mascot, we dont need a clown in a hawk suit.
