Reviews here are hilarious. People claiming there are stereotypes do so because they are blinded by their own stereotypes. A girl that likes football doesn't have to be tomboyish and manly. She can as well like pink and glitter. So this portrayal of Bella actually goes against all stereotypes. Same goes for the rest. Some boys have masculine features, others are more soft. Some thing they are supposed to be tougher and not like certain songs for example, but they learn that it doesn't matter. Most have no Texas accent, but still people who have one exist so we see one as well.
And what is the nonsense about guys being too skinny for football? Those are middle school players, not the professional NFL team. They may all become bigger or choose to become a scientist instead in a few years. Please, those are kids.
Well besides the nonsense that people are saying the show is pretty entertaining for the kids and offers a lot of characters with diverse personalities. I loved little Newt and Ace, they were hilarious. The rest of characters were also a good addition to the show and made us laugh. When it comes to acting one can see that some are already pretty good. somehow it was Brec Bassinger (Bella) whose acting I thought was the worst. And yet as I see she had more jobs after, maybe she improved.
The adults on the show, like on most kid's shows are side characters and for the most part not very smart. Which is needed for the shows where kids are in total charge of the situation. But they are still very fun and great. I love the coach for example. He is the best adult on the show being funny and supportive.

I absolutely love the message the show puts out. It shows that girls can and will do anything that boys can do, and it also shows that a girl can be "girly" in a sense, but can also love football and more masculine things. I also like how it shows that not all boys are tough and manly, like Newt.
One thing that I hugely hate is how many stereotypes are portrayed. It makes me mad how almost everyone is somehow against a girl being on a football team. ITS NOT THE END OF THE WORLD. Why are people mad at the coach that a girl is on the team? Its a middle school football team, not the NFL.
I feel like the show is trying to send out a good message, but fails in some ways. The way absolutely all of the female characters are all very girlish is just boring to me. Maybe Bella could not be the tomboyish one, but maybe one of her friends in the least? It sends out the message that all girls must love skirts and high heels, but in reality lots don't.
I also largely dislike the toxic masculinity portrayed. I get that while some boys can like more masculine things, not all do. I hate how the coach once said something like "Men hide their feelings deep down inside, and burn the map." Really? Then Bella replies back with something like "Well boys can do that, but not girls" Huh???? How come males have to hide their feelings, but girls just wear their hearts on their sleeve? It makes me pressed in a way that in the 3rd or 4th episode the whole school shames them for liking a "GiRlY" song. MEN CAN LIKE GIRLY SONGS??? UGHH.
I personally don't like the acting in general. Maybe im looking into it too deep for a childrens TV show, but all of the acting just seems so fake. It surprises me that the actor of Bella is the worst one of all, but everyone else is on about the same level of bad acting.
Overall, I expected more from a show with this storyline, so it leaves me dissapointed. I wanted more from a show like this, but it got cancelled after season 2 anyways.

Another crappy Nickelodeon sitcom. The show revolves around a girl named Bella who was once a cheerleader but somehow managed to get starting quarterback on the football team because she randomly threw a football like 30 feet across the field.
The characters are all horrible stereotypes. Bella is an annoying perky spoiled white girl. Yawn.....She is no different then the other female Nickelodeon leads like Tori Vega, Carly Shay, Taylor Hathaway. She's a perfect Mary-Sue who gets everything she wants. Newt is the nerdy corny white kid who gets picked on. Troy is pompous hotheaded arrogant douche swag black kid who think's he's all that. Sawyer is juts a tall redneck dude with a horrible country accent, Sophie is the sassy tough Latina chick, Pepper is annoying little prissy Asian who was adopted by white parents. What is with that Ace Mcfumbles kid and his black friend sidekick. They're pointless, unfunny and add nothing to the show.
A girl allowed in the boys locker room is okay??? They would never due a boy in the girls locker room. Both sides are inappropriate.
Troy and Sawyer are the skinniest football players I've ever seen. Also, how did a midget twerp like Newt who looks like a 7 year old end up on the football None of these guys size would be on the professional football team. The stereotypes are horrible. Why does Bella and her friends have to be such a giggly ditsy girly girls. Her football is covered in colorful rhinestones, her locker area is all pink, fluffy and covered with flowers, she and her friends can't live without make-up, Bella's perfectly curled hair. All the guys on the football team are sexist jerks. The attempts at catchphrases are pathetic! Bella's "Sha-BooYA" and Newt's "Who said that" are both equally lame, unfunny, and corny. The opening theme song is atrocious. Way not to be subtle with using songs like Taylor Swifts "Shake it Off" and Kelly Clarkson's "Stronger". We get it GIRL POWAH!
Stupid concept. Stupid show. Enough of this politically correct agenda that is shoving it's way into film and now television. A female linebacker in the NFL? Give me a break! I'm sick of this forced girl power garbage. I have the same problem with the new show on Fox called Pitch which has a similar premise except with baseball.

"Bella and the Bulldogs" sets an unrealistic expectation for women to be as good as men.
