This story BLOWS on just about every level! 

Meet Baltimore Ravens cheerleader COURTNEY LENZ. She was not invited to perform at the Super Bowl, and she says it's because she gained too much weight!

During the regular season, Lenz was acutally benched for a game because she gained 1.6-1.8 lbs (bringing her to a MONSTEROUS 126.2 lbs!! -- really???)

The team, however, claims that they can only bring 32 out of their 60 cheerleaders to the big game and they based their selection on "seniority, performance ability and personal conduct throughout the season." 
 
The team addded:  

"As much as we would like to take the whole team, we are unable to do so, due to parameters set by the NFL."

What do you think? Is she bitter? Or was her weight really the issue?
