Bears Fans Bag On Packer Cheerleader

[gblowfish]

This kind of reminds me of the old CP proverb: "Don't bitch about neg rep...unless you want more neg rep." Bears fans hate Packer fans. I say, "what did she expect?"

Story:

A former NFL cheerleader is firing back at cyber bullies after a rival football team's fans called her "ugly" and "an eyesore" on Facebook.

Kaitlyn Collins of Eagle River, Wis., who used to be a Green Bay Packers cheerleader, posted a YouTube video answering people who posted cruel remarks about her appearance on an unofficial Chicago Bears Fan page. A photo of Collins in her Packers cheerleading uniform surfaced on the page on Monday, with the caption "Like If You Agree The Packers Have The Worst Cheerleaders In The NFL!"

Collins, who did not immediately respond to ABC News' request for comment, does not say a word during the video. Instead she holds up handwritten sheets of paper to the camera.

"Most comments on the photo were too horrible to repeat, but had the same theme…UGLY," she writes. "This is bullying in its newest form - cyber bullying."

"Thankfully," she goes on, "I have an amazing support system full of wonderful friends and family telling me that I AM BEAUTIFUL. What about the people who don't have that at home? What will happen when something like this happens to them?"

Collins' video has been watched nearly 200,000 times since it was posted online Wednesday.

But the photo of Collins and the hurtful comments were not removed from the Chicago Bears Fan page until Thursday. By that time, it had been "liked" over 3,000 times and there were hundreds of negative comments.

In her video, Collins wrote that she asked Facebook to take the hateful post down, but the site "found it does not qualify as bullying under their standards."

"We're concerned about any abusive behavior, and have made efforts to promote an environment where everyone on Facebook can connect and share comfortably," said a Facebook spokesperson in a prepared statement.

"We maintain a robust reporting infrastructure that leverages over a billion people who use our site to keep an eye out for offensive or potentially dangerous content. This reporting infrastructure includes report links on pages across the Facebook site, systems to prioritize the most serious reports, and a trained team of reviewers who respond to reports and escalate them to law enforcement as needed. This team treats reports of harassing and bullying content as a priority."

There has since been an outpouring of support for Collins. Facebook users took to the fan page to criticize both the social networking site and the page's administrators for not taking the insults down more quickly.

"We did not see all the posts to take down the Cheerleader pic until today," the Chicago Bears Fan page administrators posted on Thursday. "We get hundreds of messages per day and are not always on here. The issue has been resolved. Please respect one another and do not bully on this page."

Collins thanked those who stood up for her, even if they didn't root for the same team.

"So, to all the Bear's Fans [sic] that defended me…I gladly (for one night only! Still a Packer chick!) wear blue and orange!" she wrote. "Thank you! From the bottom of my green and gold heart!"

Or go on DC and say that you think Obama is maybe not quite as bad as the spawn of Satan.

Unattractive woman gets called ugly and cries about it.

I'm not touchy. I think it's cute that you feel so sorry for yourself that you're being chastised for your opinions on here. It's drama queen behavior for something that doesn't exist to the degree you're making it out to be.

Thus, nobody cares. Go be mopey someplace else.

I would comment but I'm afraid my words could be used against me in a silent you tube video...

[Fairplay]

At the end of the video she waved, I think she was waving at me

[Hoover]

OK, that's not going to happen so here goes.

1. She is not ugly.
2. I also don't think she believes she's ugly.
3. If she's anything, she's an attention whore.
4. You know you are going to get "judged" by men when you try out to be a cheerleader.
5. I really hate these types of video.
6. I don't feel sorry for her at all.
7. I mean look honey, if you think you have it bad call Matt Cassel and Scott Pioli. What they went through or or going through is way worse than what you, an attractive gal, is going through on a Bears site.

Get over yourself.

[Hoover]

and....

If she was really hot some dude would have filmed that for her, instead of doing it herself.

Just saying

She really didn't get good advice in planning this thing out.

Sad cheerleader complaining about virtual mistreatment = 1000 views or whatever.

Sad naked cheerleader complaining about virtual mistreatment while making out with other naked cheerleader = 1 million views.

If she truly wants to bring attention to her cause, she knows what to do.

Sure you aren't. For a guy who doesn't "curr", you have a lot to say.

People are extremely rude and hurtful on the internet. I think the world might be a better place if we were more respectful as a whole, and shunned people who treated others so horribly.

That said, she's not being bullied. She has not been threatened in any way, nor has she been slandered. She has had her feelings hurt by assholes on the internet. And yes, they ARE assholes. But the only reason her feelings are hurt is because she would find it horrible to be ugly, which means she values being pretty the same amount that these assholes do. She's part of the problem.

If we are truly trying to be compassionate, then being ugly should be no different than being any other minority that gets shit for no good reason: sexual preference, race, etc..

The correct response to being called ugly:

"what do consider ugly, and even if you're right, what's wrong with being ugly?"

Just promoting Geno Smith any way I can and trying to eliminate the illogical crap that pops up from time to time. All the, "Hey, what if we were offered a bazillion dollars for every fan in KC for teh #1 pick wud u do it?" threads and posts.

You're the one with a butthurt problem, going from thread to thread acting like you've been wronged by a dastardly gang of Geno fans.

That environment doesn't exist on the board. It only exists if you're a complete dumbass about it.

Nothing, except nobody loves you.

I'm willing to help her. I'll even give her a discount. She really needs some marketing support.
