Come on the vast masses of normal people crush these snowflakes and get back to the good old days

Lefty here.... Definitely not Liberal....
Let the women choose if they want to do it or not...
Did Formula one or Darts ask how they felt about it?Again its the choice of the indivual to choose.
I am not suggesting its right or wrong but a question of choice for the individual....
Of course other issues remain, like how do these people get their income in these days of PC.....
Let the women choose if or if not they want to do this work..... A question of choice?
Effectively the no brigade are taking a womans choice to choose away....

And thank you....
A Womans choice..... Not that of the media....
One hundred years (I believe) since women got to vote..
Now they take their right to choose their work or job away from them....
Think we are going backwards.... Again its the choice of the person to choose....... Whether male or female let them decide.....

I agree. It's not my thing, seems cringey and kind of bizarre in this day but they evidently enjoy it so why not let them go ahead. It's creepy if some bloke is instigating it, but I'll trust their judgement.

On a side note, my ex used to be one of those track side ladies in Brazil and there was an expectation that they're basically call girls who provide 'other services' to motor racing teams. Those who refused got an image of being frigid and typically didn't last in the agency, so they'd move to another and then the same scenario repeats itself

You talk sense...
There needs to be protection for these human beings..
And if they are safe and again protected...
How about we get some guys out for the women (or men) to oggle and see if they feel ...
TBH.... Its Formula One and boring as f*** so I dont watch it............
But no they are not call girls just girls/women making a living and should be given respect and courtesy.

Seems the Crystals enjoy it, I certainly think it's great hearing Glad All Over and seeing the cheering beauties when players march on to the pitch. I'm watching via TV from Chiang Mai and see the Crystals as part of our matchday package...

That bottom statement is BS I know a few ladies that have done this job for years all over the world and never heard this at all.

These ladies choose to do this job they are not slaves or paid very little and are treated well it also opens up other work for them away from F1

This whole women power play at minute has gone over the top it's constant attacking of men lucky women are not in charge of military I could see wars starting.

So you think women should have the freedom to pick and choose jobs like this, but that stopping that is an attack on men?

A sports jurno from the Mirror has reported today that CPFC has dismissed calls for the cheerleaders to be axed, pointing out that they raise a lot of money for charity.

The darts have abandoned the use of walk-on girls, so cheerleaders, as the embodiment of decadence and debauchery, should be next.

I for one look forward to a puritanical life with no naked flesh or any form of filth.

Not!!!!

Yes - ban all those cavernous embonpoint supporters of Leeds etc etc exposing their rotund paunches held in front of them like lambeg drums.

Who are these people calling for them to be "Axed" ?

Sanctimonious forces at work as part of a campaign of 'Virtue Signalling'.

Is it sexist and demeaning to men when young girls in their hundreds are screaming at Ashley Banjo and his crew? I don't think so, but as soon as women put on an outfit and dance or parade then the PC brigade decide it's no longer for this world.

I am glad I'm in my mid 50's now and don't have to put up with a lifetime succombing to the whims of those who think they are improving the world.

All this "PC Brigade" stuff raises my hackles to the extent that I rear up like a shocked dray horse.Makes my blood boil.

Leave the Crystals alone, I would be far more worried about the mascots, their identity is more hidden than a woman wearing a burka, but everyone seems to want to let their kids play with them.

I think you have just about summed it up. The world is slowly but surely going mad.

Good post(S)- I too am in my 50's and pleased that i won't be growing up in this ridiculous world!
Lots of media reports today from grid girls who are furious with Feminists who think that they have a god given right to prevent people from earning money doing something they enjoy - I expect grid girls to be reinstated!
Americans run F1 and American sports are riddled with cheerleaders so why they think grid girls should be banned I have no idea!

Yep. I heard an interview with one this morning. Furious she was, and didn't come across as a downtrodden, manipulated sex object. In fact she is a chartered accountant, who was introduced to 'grid work' by a friend. She's subsequently developed her own interest in motor racing. Very well-spoken too.

One interesting comment was that instead of being paid to watch the British GP in future, she'll now have to cough up £100s (?) for a ticket, on top of the loss of earnings!

So unless the OP wishes to get rid of ballet too, next!
