Netflix’s hit docuseries packs an emotional punch, despite the limits of its scope.
My loved ones expressed surprise, as the show—which covers the DCC’s 2023-2024 season—is not exactly in my demographic wheelhouse. But as I argued, it’s not really about football or cheerleading per se. America’s Sweethearts is really a look at something more universal: the vexing and often brutal intersecting of art and commerce, with particular emphasis on the latter.
Nor do any of the rookies push back against those norms as they try on the team’s signature skimpy uniform for the first time. We are told that once it’s fitted to each dancer, it will not be altered—meaning that a particular weight and shape must be stringently maintained. Which, of course, is also grimly true of other professions in the world of entertainment.
