Dallas Super Bowl Stripper Shortage May Be a Crock

The initial reports seemed ominous:
TMZ.com reported that some strip clubs surrounding Cowboys Stadium are looking for an additional 10,000 girls to entertain the overwhelming crowds expected during the Packers-Steelers matchup.
According to the website, Arlington city officials are expecting 300,000 visitors over Super Bowl weekend.
John Walsh, the manager of one local strip club, Showtime Cabaret, told the website he’s looking for another 100-120 dancers that week.
They even talked about it on CNN:
But ESPN is appropriately skeptical:
First, do the math: the Super Bowl is expected to draw about 150,000 outside visitors. Business boom for all, right? Not so fast. Academic economists claim visitor spending predictions of $200-$600 million are wildly inflated. Only half of the region’s 90,000 hotel rooms are expected to be occupied during the four-night peak period around the game. And even if some Green Bay and Pittsburgh fans show up with cash-stuffed garbage bags in hand, ready to make it rain harder than a Category Five hurricane, is the Dallas area really going to need one extra stripper for every 15 visitors, a ratio to shame exclusive private school classrooms?
We think not.
Safe bet? Troy Polamalu won’t be anywhere around.

Posted on January 30, 2011 at 7:03amNFL is socialism! The teams distribute their earnings and it helps small market teams like GB and PIT. Also, the salary cap on players is an anti-capitalist idea. My favorite Dallas Cowboys aren’t able to buy the best that money can buy. Salary caps have ushered in parity in the league and small market teams are doing as well as the big market teams. This should be a rallying cry for Republicans, hopefully we can change it during this congress!!

“Can’t Charlie Sheen lend a few?”
Good point. His girls should have their stomachs pumped by next week and should be cleaned-up pretty good just in time to make it to the festivities. Unless of course Charlie throws a super bowl party at his place then Dallas may very well have a stripper shortage.

Posted on January 30, 2011 at 2:42amSadly, any major event like the Superbowl or the Olympics draws human traffikers out in droves. Sexual slavery is very real, and it happens all over this country and the world. They may be putting out a call for more strippers, but that’s not what it means. There will be thousands of sex slaves brought in to Dallas for this event and scumbags who think these gals chose this life will pay their pimps to rape them. http://www.warinternational.org

I bet these strip club operators are being way to optomistic. Kind of like a biker rally, good fun, lots of beer, occasionally a brawl (not to often), lots of riding (before the above)., sleep it off, and repeat.
