I saw Associated Press photos of Miami Dolphins cheerleader tryouts in Rio de Janeiro on Thursday, and the pictures inspired me so much that they have led me to write this post.
I have no interest in getting in trouble with the AP photo police, who would probably go after me if I ran their tryout photos on Guy Hut.
The intrepid sports reporter that I am, I found photo sources I am allowed to use without fear of infringement violations and I also saw a high-energy video. Just click on this image and you will see high energy.
I would pick all the girls in the video if I could, but the cheerleader squad has a limited number of members. Girls will have to be cut, and Rio de Janeiro is just the start of the auditions.
The Dolphins, or I should say members of the cheerleader squad, are going to other South American cities to scout talent: Buenos Aires, Argentina, on Sunday and Bogota, Colombia, on April 2.

Mexico City on March 12 is also a tryout site and the final auditions will be back in Miami on April 23.
Some Dolphins fans are puzzled about the tryouts far from home.
A guy on Facebook said, “Rio is a wonderful place, but I wonder: No more talented dancers in all of Florida?”
My question is, “Why have any tryouts at all?”
The Dolphins already have plenty of beauties on their squad.
I mean, check out MDC Macy. Whoa! I think she is Miss March on the squad’s 2016 calendar.
It's time to turn your calendars! Lots of luck to you all in March! #MissMarch @CruiseNorwegian #beachbabe pic.twitter.com/RYn6OV8w6o

Of course, many Dolphins fans appreciate the tryouts, and I am on their side.
This comment on Facebook is representative of the buzz.
“Yes, bring the samba style dance and incorporate in their cheer. Now we’re talking. Be careful cause those girls can really move and dance some serious stuff.”
Yeah man, rock the samba!
