Pretty gross.
"For the photo shoot, at the adults-only Occidental Grand Papagayo resort on Culebra Bay, some of the cheerleaders said they were required to be topless, though the photographs used for the calendar would not show nudity. Others wore nothing but body paint. Given the resort’s secluded setting, such revealing poses would not have been a concern for the women — except that the Commanders had invited spectators.
A contingent of sponsors and FedExField suite holders — all men — were granted up-close access to the photo shoots"
"One evening, at the end of a 14-hour day that included posing and dance practices, the squad’s director told nine of the 36 cheerleaders that their work was not done. They had a special assignment for the night. Some of the male sponsors had picked them to be personal escorts at a nightclub."
This on top of reporting that Commanders management basically rented out cheerleaders to sponsors/fans for "personal events", like just going to their house, charging up to $1200 a head and giving the girls $100.
I really hope we don't treat our cheerleaders like that.
