Looking for a few fat men? So are the Florida Marlins baseball team! Dubbed “The Manatees,” this new group of seven to 10 tubby guys will dance, jiggle, and cheer during the 2008 Friday and Saturday home games. The already established sexy Mermaid cheerleaders will stay for pay, but the footloose fat guys will be cheering in exchange for game tickets.
Well, rev-up MY boat propellers!
The Marlins aren't the only pro sports team capitalizing on Americans' expanding waistlines. The Chicago Bulls basketball team have the Matadors, a big-man dance troupe that's entertained fans at home games since 2003.
And although cheerleaders might be an unfamiliar site in baseball, big men aren't, as fans have long cheered on the likes of Babe Ruth and Kirby Puckett.
