Several women decided to leave the team the following season. What happened overseas, they said, made them feel worthless and unprotected. In a statement, the Redskins describe their cheerleader program as one with a “safe and constructive environment.”http://nyti.ms/2FBfpiU

@TIMESUPNOW can we help the NFL cheerleaders? Between the control that the NFL exerts over their bodies, especially with social media, and this headline- TIMES UP on the NFL! - 1 more reply

The age of the NFL cheerleader is over. Whether this alone kills it or not...the writing is on the wall. It's done.

The name of the team suggests no sensitive to any kind of equity, that they would do this is therefore not surprising

This is from the team that still uses a racial slang for its team name “Redskins”. There’s a lot of things morally wrong with this team. I feel really bad for those cheerleaders.

People endure all kinds of abuse when it comes to livelihood, especially when there are few alternative jobs. What does a cheerleader do after quitting for these reasons? You're blaming the victim instead of the predators and exploiters.

They were in a foreign country and their passports had been taken. How do you suggest they get home?

Obviously if they had just been Strong Women who were Tough, they could have swam home. Or flew. Strong Woman don't let themselves get harassed, they just grow wings and fly back home.
