Fernanda is a Brazilian model and television presenter. she was selected to be part of the recent worldwide televised football World Cup draw. She has no previous connection with, or involvement in, any sport. The decision to give her the role has led to widespread accusations of sexism. Isn't it time bike racing ditched the grid girls?
No one makes any of these girls do the job. Do they like earning good money to be stared at and admired in a safe environment? I suspect they do. It makes plenty of people happy, so what's the problem?
Just had to watch last GP again just so I could have a look again at those poor girls being drooled over. Disgusting. Men who look at women as sex objects are loathsome. However I did notice that the girls on the Yamaha team have bigger chests than the rest. Just going to watch it again may have missed something. Regards Steve
Is it sad ? Well yes it probably is but as Glidd says it is an arrangement that they freely enter into. Those Yamaha girls do look good in blue and white and they do retain a certain dignity by standing still.
I'm sure she's done a few bits before this in the lead up to the draw? Anyway, as far as the grid girls go...no, if they are happy doing what then do then most people probably are. If I could make a living off my body doing that kinda thing I'd be all over it like a rash! Work sucks mostly, my job pays me well but it is hard work and when I get to retirement age I pretty sure my body will have long since fallen apart on me.
