A Minnesota strip club was approved and listed by the Super Bowl committee as a recommended vendor for companies providing services and products to those coming to town to enjoy the festivities surrounding the National Football League (NFL) championship game.
A local newspaper, The Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal, spotted the strip club’s listing in the directory and contacted the host committee:
“A Twin Cities strip club was until Tuesday included as a diverse supplier on the Minnesota Super Bowl Host Committee's Business Connect Resource Guide, a list of more than 400 women- and ethnic-minority-owned businesses that was given to the NFL and other companies to provide services and products needed for this February's Super Bowl.
“King of Diamonds Gentlemen's Club, a woman-owned establishment in Inver Grove Heights, was listed as a vendor in the food and catering category.” The Host Committee says the strip club was listed by accident and that, as of Tuesday, the committee has pulled the listing from its online version of the directory."
Debra Kalsbeck, the owner of the business, said she didn’t finish all the paperwork required by the application process to be in the Super Bowl LII Business Connect program, the NFL's diverse-supplier initiative. Kalsbeck says she’d never even been told she’d made the guide.
"Hopefully they’ve already printed" the directory, she said. The Business Journal reports that, indeed, “The resource guide was sent out and listed online this summer.”
Typical Minnesota incompetence.
The NFL can't die soon enough to suit me.
Would it be approved by the NFL players social justice warriors? Is it inclusive with representative Qs, Ls, Ts, Bs, +s strippers?
Oh God the horror....
Backfield in motion.
You said it.
BTTT!!!
Not only can’t have it, but now the bastards don’t even want you to see what you can’t have.
"Two snaps and our backfields in motion."
Remember that when you turn on your television to watch a game.
Not only can’t have it, but now the bastards don’t even want you to see what you can’t have.
“Typical Minnesota incompetence.”
Dumb Swedes...just like back in the old country. DFL sort of rhymes with NFL.
In Minnesota?
In February?
Really?
No offense to anyone who calls it home, but doesn't it get bad bad cold in Minnesota in February?
Jesse blamed the crooked streets in St. Paul on the drunken Irish.
Global warming. :-)
.
Because for the NFL, screwing America isn’t enough.
I did when I was younger :)
Great picture :)
I used to pick them up at the end of their shifts in my cab. Great tippers
Well it’s a domed stadium but yeah, in the streets it will probably be d——d cold. A lot of the hotels and events are contiguous with the Mall of America, though, so I think most ppl will be indoors a great deal of the time. I understand that they have all kinds of event spaces within the Mall of America.
