1. I understood this prior to you telling me.

Sometimes I think women have it great, because they get to be the ones to get hit on, on the receiving end of free drinks, and things of that nature. But reading something like this makes me so glad I'm a man. This is horrifying.

I have already explained to you that they signed away their rights. They do not have them anymore because they signed a contract stating the terms they agreed to. Therefor workers rights do not necessarily apply in this situation. Contracted employees operate on a whole different set of rules then salaried or hourly.…

I freaking love Big Buck, it's all the fun of guns and booze, with none of the danger of seriously injuring yourself.

If you get ESPN style about fooseball (where there is a million rules, like you can't move any guys that are behind the ball) in the bar, I'm sorry but you need to lighten up a little, it's way more fun when it's chaos, and no one knows how to control the ball.

I agree with you 100% if we are talking about college or high school, where they are doing acrobatics, lifts, flips, and competing against other squads. NFL cheerleaders do none of these things, they are eye candy, not competitors.

All I was thinking was when he hits the one random patch of cement that doesn't have snow or ice on it or a pothole he is not going to be having very much fun anymore, and his board is going to be fucked. Not worth risking your 400 dollar snowboard and a concussion on one pothole in my opinion.

Yes you can. Or at least anyone who knows how to count. They are not doing "So you think you can dance" style or ballet routines. They are shaking their ass and pompoms with an occasional high leg kick, all in synchronized choreographed steps in time with music. Anyone who is physically fit (I do not consider physical…

These are heartbreaking, but Martin's father should be commending his son for "punking out" over the N word. Not saying he should have let Incognito walk all over him or that it was in any way acceptable. I'm more trying to say the word would lose all of it's power if more people just recognized it as a word, and that…

because NFL cheerleaders do not do synchronized acrobatics, they do dance routines. And it is unskilled labor because literally anyone can do it and it takes no education, therefor it is the exact definition of unskilled labor.

Yes I'm sure sexual harrasment rules don't apply anymore because it said don't question authority, and now I'm sure Bengals executives are just running rampant groping women, and bursting into the showers snapping pictures..... COME ON, you have a brain... use it.

They are contracted employees meaning they agreed to give away their labor rights in exchange for whatever perceived benefits they are getting from being a cheerleader. Therefor they are subject to wage laws, however they do a job that enough people want to do that they are forced to sign this contract or it's on to…

Please explain a purpose for them besides eye candy?!? Cause I am curious what that other purpose is.

I don't see whats wrong about "if they don't like it they shouldn't audition for the team." I would love to go out on the street and shake my ass and make my living that way, but the simple reality is no one is willing to pay me to do that, so I have to suck it up and go to a job that sucks so I can continue to eat…

If you signed a contract before you started working there (like these women did) stating you agreed to those terms then yes absolutely they are free to disregard the employment law. This is like a plummer complaining his job smells like shit. They take and agree to the terms of a job that requires no skill and is 100%…

I don't understand why it's so surprising that a job that takes absolutely no skill and is 100% based on appearance has an appearance based code of cunduct that the employees have to follow. If you want to make more money, and not have to follow these appearance rules then don't take a job where the only reason you…

I don't get why it's makes boarders look lame. It's just kind of the nature of the sport. When boarding in the terrain park or halfpipe, there is usually only 1 or 2 lines to take down the hill, meaning usually there are boarders waiting at the top of the hill to take their turn. So it's very natural to talk and get…

you are.

Any chance your from Chicago? If so I feel your pain, it's impossible to find a bar here without at least 15 TV's. Try to find a local brewery if you can. I've found they are the most likely to not have 90 TV's all over the walls, and usually keep the volume of the music/football game at a mid to low level.

I've seen a lot of newer sports bars have TV's above the Urinals and in the stalls in the men's bathroom, can't speak for the ladies room (as I am a man) but I would guess it's probably not that far away from happening (if it hasn't already happened in a few places).
