She is gorgeous one of the cheerleaders for the Super Bowl favorite Baltimore Ravens but -- a lot.

23 year old Courtney -- did not receive an invitation to what would have been the biggest game of her life why why didn't the ravens invite her.

Was it because of course he -- Let's ask -- she joins us from her hometown of Baltimore hi -- thanks so much for being with us.

The -- -- what happened what happened why weren't you invited.

He night and -- -- got the email last week I thought it was a mistake on the five year.

Better and I thought pressure that I would be going to see -- an ending my career in New Orleans but.

You know when I asked my Dresser I am Arab request a conference call the next day after I receive the notification I wasn't -- -- And then you know she just that I had a Iraqi -- and she said that you know anybody -- had some sort of disciplinary action taken towards them was automatically disqualified.

And the only disciplinary action that was that I I was benched for two games during the season for gaining a little bit away.

You know we get -- once a week and I had I was like one point six pounds nevermind my weight so they benched me and what kind of message does that send -- -- Ladies everywhere you know the original goal was to go to Super Bowl but I just won an open some eyes up and it's just -- ridiculous.

That they put that much pressure on I actually have a good friend of mine that left the team this during the season because.

She they want her to lose weight and she was like no this is my healthy weight we work out every single day.

They went to -- tinier than average but -- -- it will connect to that put into the little girls in the role models and that's why I'm leaving the team so you bitter angry white you know going up the number on a scale is not a good measure in metric ton of weight -- need to go off of percentage of body -- like other NFL teams do for their cheerleaders.

You know we can't go -- -- you can fluctuate a few pounds.

And to be that critical on last it's ridiculous they would be meaning he -- next.

They -- easy counseling because they want me to be smaller this year and I did everything they asked and they still didn't let me get a Super Bowl and that's.

In -- hands of the when they're out that are outraged and this is what it's let him.

One point six that I -- I'm outraged as well Courtney you look globally.

To -- you know have a great.

A great life then -- so he's gonna miss that big game it to my now colleague decision from a franchise that.

Seems that you know have their head screwed on right but they definitely got this wrong sort of thing and hitting us and good luck to you.

Thank you so much.
