I think Virginia stopped it in the 80's because she didn't like the sexiness/slight butt cheek blah blah aspect of da womenz being exploited, nothing to do with the cold.

The Chicago Honey Bears had their final performance in Super Bowl XX in the Superdome in New Orleans,[6] performing at halftime to Prince's song Baby I'm a Star. After the game, the Honey Bears were terminated, due to Virginia Halas McCaskey's belief that they were sexist and degrading to women (she called them "sex objects"), as well as them costing up to $50,000 a season.[5] General manager Jerry Vainisi stated that the team could possibly replace the squad with a high school band, despite having not done so.[7] The other factor in the squad's termination, Michael McCaskey, stated that the squad is not an acceptable part of the gameday experience.[8]

Despite numerous attempts to bring back the Honey Bears and fan polls supporting the squad 3–1, Virginia McCaskey has let it be known the Bears will not have cheerleaders as long as she owns the team. A small group of Bears fans created an unofficial Honey Bears who appeared at the team's training camp in 2010 as part of the unofficial web page to bring back the squad, which also has petitions that fans can sign to bring back the group.[14][15]

A year after the squad's disbanding, a producer named Greg Schwartz trademarked the name, purchased a federal registration, and eventually turned the once-cheerleading squad into a song and dance group.[16] The group has performed for various Fortune 500 companies and has done modelling.[17]

Why have cheerleaders when you have a peanut gallery?

Some cheerleaders aren't employed jobs, they're considered volunteers.

It's also widely known scuttlebutt that old bag Virginia's son Mike was having a bit too much fun with the HoneyBears, as were some of the players, which despite the most recent SB win, pissed of old dusty Virginia something fierce.

Raising far more $$ for charity than the pennies on the dollar $50k for minimal expenses, there still won't be any cheerleaders in Soldier Field until she passes.

I prefer the no cheerleader image we have right now. It has the old school, no-nonsense type of image.

I know it's wrong to hate on old women..... but damn Virginia, have you done ANYTHING right as owner of the Bears?

Wish they would have done it 5 years ago!! Would have been a great distraction to the crap that was being displayed between the lines.

Yeah.... exactly. Which proves my point. Stop worrying about cheerleaders, and worry about winning games and playing football first.

Ok how many women do the bears hire them? Or what %

I’m going to take a wild guess and say 5% women 95% men

Adding a cheerleader squad not only adds 15 more women to your payroll, but it also creates new opprotunities for managing/scheduling/photography
