Former Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader Reacts to My Chemical Romance Gun Shot, Ric Will Be Okay, and the NBA Fails

Welcome to Screenshots“America’s best daily column,” as readers called it. Screencaps, publishing seven days a week, is a mix of sports, pop culture and emails from sensible readers around the world. This column is not aimed at coastal elites. Give us a week to steal your heart. Our record is pretty good. Let’s have a little fun.

Cowboys cheerleaders are furious about what My Chemical Romance did to their brand this week

They’re so warped that they slapped the band with cease and desist orders – a restraining order, to be exact – because of that moment where lookalikes were brought on stage wearing what certainly look like Cowboys cheerleading outfits to get into a shootout.

For a DCC alum like Stephanie Roberts, who danced for the team from 2015 to 2018, it’s no laughing matter. In a TikTok video posted Friday evening, she wrote: “As a DCC alumna, I have absolutely nothing to say…”

Guys, she’s angry.

“Let’s get one thing straight, the real (Cowboys cheerleaders) were NOT at this concert,” she wrote in the caption.

Here’s another part of the show where fake Cowboys cheerleaders dance on stage. It’s unclear whether the DCC is angry about this or just the gun routine. In the comments section, amateur lawyers analyze the case.

“If they didn’t market them as the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders, they won’t do it. The costumes are available on the mass market,” said an amateur lawyer named Colleen.

Another woman named Sabrina says it’s legal because we’re just days away from Halloween. “If they didn’t present them as the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders, they wouldn’t get sued. The costumes are available on the mass market,” she says.

You understand. We’ll have to see how this plays out in court.

Do high school students do these White Lie Nights where you live?

That’s what happened last night here in northwest Ohio. You know what we didn’t see on one of the white shirts or white hoodies? “I hate black girls.” No, I didn’t see it.

I was pretty shocked to see these messages on the shirts worn by Toledo Whitmer’s kids, but maybe I’m just isolated here and unaware of what’s going on in the real world. You tell me if I’m just not up to date with current trends.

Update on Ric Flair: Everything will be fine

In case you haven’t heard, Nature Boy, 77, took a nasty fall on Friday, but his daughter assures us everything will be fine. That said, Ric was on Instagram saying something about blood clots like Jalen Hurts.

Screenshot Readers Jumped on the $2 Tipping Bandwagon

• Paul B. in Oxnard, California, takes me back to a snippet of screenshots from June: I jumped on the $2 tip bandwagon. Mrs. Paul B. and I are in Nassau in the Bahamas for a nice relaxing stay at an all-inclusive resort. Drinks are free but tips are appreciated and the $2 bill fits the bill perfectly (pardon the pun).

Kinsey: For new readers, back in June, for some reason, I posted an article about tipping $2 bills and how it’s a lot easier than carrying around a group of singles. Then I went on a golf trip with Canoe Kirk and Diesel from my texting group where we used $2 bills exclusively and all the resort workers were mesmerized. Not only did they make quite a bit of money because we threw them around like drunken sailors, but there was also an element of conversation.

Try tipping $2 bills, especially if you’re single and have trouble starting a conversation.

How to Handle All Political Spam Calls

• Shawn in Hellabama suggests: About political texts (and robocalls), you have to love that politicians placed an exclusion in the Do Not Call List legislation where political ads were exempt from complying with the list.

One thing though, I like that in the new iOS settings, if a number calls that isn’t in your contacts, you can set it so your ringtone doesn’t ring. Then when I delete the text message or call log, I can try to report spam so that hopefully the number won’t call my phone again.

I’ve enjoyed the Outkick column almost from the beginning, so thanks for years of entertainment.

Kinsey: This week, I heard from a few readers that they loved the column from the beginning. I guess they mean since he started showing up on OutKick. Now I want to hear from readers who have been following me for at least 15 years, since the days of Busted Coverage.

Trend and good manners of Dump Dinner in America

• Tom T. sends emails: I have to agree with Chris from California. Good manners are important, and seeing someone with good manners is refreshing. My mother and father taught us manners, but the one who taught them was grandmother. She would treat us at the table for our bad manners, then she would attack my mother (her daughter) for not raising us well.

In college, my roommate went on a date with the hot girl he had a crush on. I took him aside before the appointment and told him NOT to hold his fork like a shovel, putting food in his mouth. I showed him the correct way to hold a fork. He was EXTREMELY grateful, because he just didn’t know. The date went well and he may have had some time to enjoy himself thanks to his excellent table manners.
