(56 years) In 1931, The Green Bay Packers were the first NFL team to have have cheer leaders at their home games.In fact, at request of then Head Coach and GM Vince Lombardi the Packer cheerleaders become a professional Cheer leading organization in the 1960's.However in 1988 then Packer President-CEO Bob Harlan disbanded the Packer professional Cheer leading group..It was sometime after 1988 to this date in 2011, that Packers have been using college Cheer leaders from UW-Green Bay and St Norbert College as cheer leaders for Packer home games..As for Don Hutson, he was great Packer End (WR) and defensive Back from 1935-1945 and then became a Packer assistant Coach under Packer head Coach-GM "Curly" Lambeau from 1945-1948.Don Hutson had nothing to do with banning Packer Cheerleaders.</blockquote>
