Susie Sanchez: Raiders Newest Cheerleader A Grandmother

'Grandma' and 'cheerleader' are not two words that you often hear go together, but perhaps that will change as a result of who the Oakland Raiders announced will be the newest addition to their squad in 2011.

According to The Pinnacle, the Raiderettes hired Susie Sanchez, a 37-year-old mother of three and grandmother of one.

"It's life changing at that moment," she said after hearing the big news.

Sanchez isn't the first Raiders cheerleader to come from slightly unusual circumstances--Tony LaRussa's daughter Bianca Tai was also given a spot on the squad.

She also isn't even the oldest cheerleader in the NFL. That distinction is held by Laura Vikmanis of the Cincinnati Bengals, who is 42 and recently sold the rights to her story to New Line Cinema.

Well, it's Oakland & owner Al Davis, who's as old as dirt, isn't it? LOL

That's not that bad. She had a kid at 20 and her kid had one at 17. Yeah, it's probably better that a girl waits until she's older to have a baby, but what can you do? Safe sex, people. Safe sex.

I think we should all bash this woman for having a baby at 13.

Yes, I realize that the centers of the brain that regulate the ability to weigh risks, make good judgments, and control one's impulses isn't fully formed until around the age of 25, but that 13 year old should have had the decency to speed up the development of her neural pathways so she could make more adult decisions.

That's what these prepubescents get for expecting the adults in their lives to guide them to make the right decisions until they're old enough to do so themselves. These middle-schoolers just have no sense of personal responsibility. 

Furthermore, I'm disgusted that this 37-year-old didn't build a time machine and go back and tell her 13-year-old self to make some different choices. She was a terrible adult as a kid, and she's a terrible adult as an adult, too.

Ummm, I think you might want to go back and read the article. She had her first child at the age of 20. That fact negates the rest of your post....
