The Raiders Cheerleading Squad Has A Grandma
According to a 37-year-old grandmother, age ain’t nothing but a number. Susie Sanchez is now a sideline cheerleader for the Oakland Raiders 2011-12 season. Sanchez is the mother of three children and one grandchild.
Sanchez again impressed the judges with her dancing ability, skill and presence later that week — she had been dancing since she was 8, after all — and she can now safely say she is the oldest member of the Raiderettes as well.
“I just started crying,” she said after she heard her number called — lucky No. 45. “It was like, ‘wow.’ I was overwhelmed with emotion … just never give up.”
