    Ring girls: Important tradition or antiquated sexism?

    I noticed their absence in the last PBC event.

    I never really saw a problem with them, but my wife absolutely detests the practice and has convinced me that they are offensive to female boxing fans (as well as female MMA fans).

    Is it time to finally put an end to the use of ring girls in fighting sports?

          Don't think it really matters. More of a nostalgia thing and wanted to look at some ass in between rounds. I think it was check hooks who was complaining how pbc sucks cause they don't have ring girls lol

            I wish you would have put a third option. It's not needed but I don't care if it stays

                  Nah, man, it's not like that. She just thinks it's kind of degrading. Then I responded "so cheerleaders in football, same deal?" to which she replied "absolutely."

                  Apparently dancing and strutting around in a minimal amount of clothing to appease a predominantly male audience bothers her a bit, especially considering the fact that we're probably not gonna see any dudes in banana hammocks carrying a round card during a female boxing match. To her, it reinforces the notion that she isn't supposed to watch boxing because it's a male sport for male fans. But tbh, she knows more about the sweet science than some of the guys on NSB.

                    I would backhand my wife if she EVER dared have an opinion but that's just me.

                    I don't care for feminists. My girl went to Barnard College and even she knows 90% of them were silly entitled freaks with their manufactured grievances everywhere they went.

                    Personally, I find it repulsive when people seek grievances everywhere they go. Everyone seems to be "outraged" and "offended" in 2015. Buncha whiny ccksuckers...
