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 Redskins 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.

“So get back to your room and get ready,” the director told them. Several of them began to cry.

thats fucked up, theyre cheerleaders, not prostitutes or strippers

[OvB]

That's really creepy.

[Da Space Core]

What the hell, who thought this was a fine idea?

[Ghost901]

Being an NFL cheerleader is a really shitty job in general.

[SKS]

working for the NFL is a pretty shitty job unless you're running it

[Ghost901]

That depends. If you're a star player then you probably love it.

The potential for a multi million dollar contract makes it worth it in my eyes.

[God of Ashes]

cheerleaders in the nfl are such a weird fuckin thing

[Daddy-of-war]

That's fucking sick. Women aren't sex dolls that you can do with as you please.
