Friends and families of Arizona Cardinals Cheerleaders say the team was removed from the sidelines for Monday night's prime time football game against the Los Angeles Chargers.

They say the cheerleaders only performed during breaks from play, which was apparently because of new premium seating.

The move came as a shock to the current team and decades-long vets.

Families of the cheerleaders say what used to be nearly three hours that they performed on the field during a game day would now be a total of 10 to 15 minutes. They also say the cheerleaders were given a four-day notice that they would not be performing alongside the game. …

Fans took their frustrations to social media. The Cardinals' Instagram page was flooded with comments and people demanding answers. …

The cheerleaders were allegedly told the reasoning behind the decision was they would have been blocking the view.

"We drove three hours," a mother said. "What am I supposed to tell my daughter? Where are the cheerleaders?"
