OMG. Reading that is like reading the white-guy too c00l for politics manifesto. Two “centrist” candidates. That is some embarrassing shit.
I’ve said it before, but that article needs to haunt them. When they look for another job, the first thing the potential employer should see is that. And god damn were they pissed when they got called out on it. Only Drew had the brass to be the adult.
I really think they need to do a re-evaluation of their choices and do a blog about that.
If I was that Alex Pareene guy, i’d be offering up a years pay to have that response taken down.
Ashley and anyone else who didn’t work for GMG at the time of the election.
Hell, even if it’s fucking McDonalds.
“I suspect that the rules against fraternising are unrelated to cheerleaders’ protection.”
They are absolutely unrelated to cheerleaders’ protection. It is not about keeping them safe, it is about protecting the ‘image’ of the team and the ‘purity’ of the cheerleaders themselves.
Think of the retrograde policies for…
It also codifies victim blaming. If anything happens can a cheerleader comes forward about being sexually harassed or assaulted, they can point to the rule book and say it is 100% her fault because she was supposed to leave as soon as the player showed up.
So if there’s a place that is very hard to get reservations for, and a cheerleader manages to snag one, and she takes her parents there for their 50th anniversary, if an NFL player shows up, unannounced, and the maitre d’ allows him to be seated, SHE is the one who is in violation of the rules and has to leave?
So all the heteros watching sprortsballs can stop questioning their homoerotic thrills by having scantily clad women give them the “No Homo” pass.
My guess is that the rules came from the squads themselves. They didn’t want to be perceived as simply “dating fodder” for the players and they wanted to discourage cheerleaders from joining only in an attempt to “catch a player.”
What’s the point in having NFL cheerleaders anyway? They’re not paid minimum wage in some cases. They have ridiculous rules they have to follow, which aren’t that different from misogynistic theocracies. They have to parade around, wearing next to nothing, but they’re not allowed control over their bodies when they’re…
The institution of cheerleading is stupid enough, but to pretend that NFL cheerleaders are anything more than go-go dancers with pom-poms is even more ludicrous. It couldn’t be more obvious if they were in cages suspended from the Superdome roof.
Trump was a dem ... until America elected a black man and he lost his mind.
With all due respect to you, Rebecca * But fuck Tiffany Trump. She is NOT an ally. She is NOT part of any #resistance Tiffany Trump is interested in Tiffany Trump and could give zero shits over seventeen dead high-school kids. Any one with the last name Trump deserves not one iota of a benefit of doubt.
Bill Maher did a bit this week about how “conservatives” like Andrew Breitbart, Dana Loesch, and Steve Bannon were all wannabe Hollywood stars who got rejected from the entertainment industry. So they were bitter and turned on liberals because Hollywood is run by liberals. Seems that Trump is doing the exact same…
There is nothing more difficult than standing in front of a group of people and letting silence be. (I know this from my teaching career...). It’s interesting to see the audience reaction - silence makes people so uncomfortable! Some feel the need to fill it - cheering, chanting etc - until the silence sinks in. …
