Actually we are in complete agreement. Other than it wouldn’t hurt to remind some women around safe tampon use the rest of that is absolutely insane. Still, they CAN quit, but they choose not to. They choose to live that, so it must be worth it for them.
I’m still not happy about it, but I see that as an outcome of our general labour issues. If we fix that, then situations like this don’t happen. For anyone.
I worry a bit about the opposite: if we force teams to pay more for cheerleaders, perhaps more teams just dump them. That’s not good for them either. I’m really stumped with this situation and I think it would take many people working together to fix correctly.
I’m confused. I quoted you.
Disagree here. You could (and some teams have) dropped the cheerleaders, and people still pay to go. No one pays to go watch cheerleaders on their own. It’s just capitalism, for better or worse ![]()
