We send our girls and women, some as young as about 8, basically to sexually charge the crowds and be basically the harems for the male elect, whether they be donors, recruits, the players themselves, rich people...
And the latest example of this has just hit the media like a truck. A report from the New York Times, reported in both ESPN and Deadspin today, indicate that members of the 2013 Washington Redskins cheerleading squad were ordered to pose topless in front of players, team officials, and various expensive bigwigs.
The members of the squad, apparently in Costa Rica for the annual calendar photo shoot, were ordered to pose topless and in only body paint. This is, basically, what the Sports Illustrated issue has become over the years, but the story gets far worse on at least two levels.
Spectators invited by the team watched, and, later in the evening, a number of them were ordered to serve as escorts (no sex is claimed by the women) for a number of big-money parties.
Look... Can we finally just get off the idea that this is a legitimate, non-sexual event ancillary to sporting events? And I'm not even saying that to make it "right"...
The fact is that, from Pop Warner to professional, we ask our women to sexually gratify us on the sideline -- or, at least at the very minimum, "This is what you would have if you were a real man."
