<p>why do the media feel the need to get the sponsors to comment, are they wanting them to come out and say 'how atrocious, we will cancel our sponsorship deal immediately!!'</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Pretty much. Sponsors turned their backs on Tiger and Sharapova so it's a good source in a developing story. The Gallagher Group executive accepted an offer for an interview so it's not like her comments came off-guard as she was ambushed in the Countdown carpark.</p> -

Why would anyone say that in public? Terrible PR, and a pretty shitty thing to say. No rights just because she's a stripper? What about if it was a girl in a short skirt? Same deal?</p></blockquote>

They sell electric fences , they probably feel on safe ground with their customers saying something like that .<br><br>
Because I've led a sheltered life I know very little about strippers and such like but according to my favourite thread ever they usually have someone with them to stop the gropers/drunks? -

<p>I realize that, but seriously, with all that is going on in the world they seek out comment from a sponsor about a sports team they give money about a story on a stripper at a party?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Interesting it was a women at Gallagher that made the comment too, woulda made more sense to say 'go away, this isn't news', I seriously doubt they are gonna go to Stuff and break the news of canning a sponsorship</p> -
<p>Someone is always offended about something these days.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I call some of my mates of different ethnicities names what could be seen as racist and vise versa. People are probably offended by it, but who gives a shit, it has nothing to do with them.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Re the stripper, I could guarantee she and every stripper under the sun have people try to grope them every time they're working. If you're going to take your clothes off in front of (usually) drunk strangers and wiggle your bits in their faces, with the specific intention of earning more money, surely putting up with the odd stray hand grabbing a feel of said bits comes with the job? And why only cry to the media when it's someone 'famous'? Nothing but attention seeking from all involved.</p>

<p>Here's a tip lady - if you don't like the hazards of your job, find yourself a new career.</p> -

<p>Jesus fuck.</p>
<p>Dear Chiefs rugby: the whole 'lifetime to build, seconds to destroy' reputation thing is actually true.</p>
<p>And Margaret Comer: go fuck yourself. The stripper was not some random girl who walked around with her clothes off. She was a stripper, hired for a job. There are rules.</p>

<p>This woman-hating attitude is terrible PR, and rather ugly.</p> -

<p>Exactly. One line about being concerned, investigating the allegations and further update to come = no problem. Instead they have a shitstorm, and only themselves to blame, for making the kind of extremely stupid comments that media LOVE.</p> -

<p>I am not sure if you have ever been to the rippers but that's not how it works in any civilised society. The rules are clear they can touch you cannot. Breaking that rule usually gets you kicked out, if you're lucky, and roughed up if you're not. It should get you arrested but because of this bullshit attitude that strippers are all sluts and deserve it the police probably don't take those kind of things as seriously as they should and the strippers probably don't feel they have the protections they deserve. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Here is a tip for you, if you havent walked a mile in her clear heels don't push your puritan agenda on her. She has the right to do the job she chooses without being assaulted. If you can't keep your hands to yourself when you see a naked woman that is your issue not hers. Why should she work a checkout or be a lawyer if being a stripper gives her days off and pays more. Its none of your business why she chooses this job.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Now was she assaulted? I have no idea the truth will come out in the wash. But this idea that she "deserves it" or should "expect it" for being a stripper can fuck right off. When you hire a stripper you hire an entertainer not a slave to do with as you please.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Finally to the CEO and the HR lady do your fuckin jobs no one cares what you think about her morals. Answer the questions you can, and leave the bait for the fish. I am sure some of you will try and call this out for white knighting the girl. But honestly I am speaking out in protection of the industry, ask yourself do you really want to live in a world with no strippers?</p>
