Pro Cheerleaders Say Groping and Sexual Harassment Are Part of the Job
NY Times ^ | Aprill 9, 2018 | Juliet Macur and John Branch

Cheerleaders for professional sports teams are often dancers with backgrounds in ballet, jazz, modern, hip-hop and tap. After beating out dozens of other dancers for the job, they have a chance to show off the athletic and dancing skills they have honed for years. But they quickly learn that performing during sporting events is only a small part of their job description. They are also required to fulfill what often becomes the unsavory side of the job: interacting with fans at games and other promotional events, where groping and sexual harassment are common.

/src on/I am shocked./src off/ Cue Captain Obvious. They know what they are getting into so stop whining. It might get to a point NFL teams might say it is not worth it and eliminate the cheerleaders. I am a J-E-T-S fan and they did not have a squad until a few years ago.

Nobody comes to the games to watch the cheerleaders. If they disappeared, only the perves would notice

I have generally sat in the upper deck at games, and the cheerleaders are too far away to see.

Waitresses at crowded bars know this also, but deal with it cause they make big tips.

And now for a little Ezekiel 23:20 for you...

There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses.

Yup, that’s the name of the game isn’t it, like a whore complaining of the leers of non-customers.

I knew a woman who worked as a waitress in the 90’s. She made over $200 a night Friday and Sat. Some grabass was expected. If someone got too “handy”, then the bouncer would remove them.

One Sat, she made over $500, so yeah, I saw their big tips.

My Dad used to call them “Frustrated street walkers”. Didn’t catch that meaning till I was a bit older.

Seems he served with a few pro ball players back in the day, and the cheer leaders had the repretation then too.

What kind of woman becomes a cheerleader?

Someone who believes they're attractive, desirable, and who enjoy flaunting it and enjoy their power over men to drive them mad with lust and desire.

The personality type is a flirting tease.

They know what they're getting into and despite the rabid anger from feminists, they like the attention.

A pat on the butt or a squeeze is their confirmation of their desirability.

When men stop gawking and squeezing their egos must take a hit.

How often do pro football cheerleaders actually get to marry a pro-football player? I assume this the dream.

That was like a scene from the movie, 'Alice doesn't live here anymore'.

Alice is appalled how her co-worker flaunts and teases her customers who touch her and make comments.

The co-worker explains it's all part of the game. Everyone wins. The boys get to live out a little fantasy and the girls get their money.

Alice tries it and starts making big money.

Well, my friend didn’t really flaunt it, but waitresses back then wore short skirts as part of her uniform and she had nice tatas, so it made her good tips.

A very dear and sweet woman who died way too young was a long time waitress at a Pizza Hut in Rock Hill SC.

I asked her why she stayed where she was.

Good tips and regular friends among the customers.

She was as ladylike as they came. At times it seemed she was the only friend I had in the world.
