âHow fair is it for one woman to sit and say to other women âYou shouldnât be able to have those jobs, I think you should be banned.â You know who makes that argument? Middle-Eastern countries which give women no freedom at all.â -- Clay Travis
Clay Travis blasted a recent article in USA Today where a female author penned an opinion piece voicing her displeasure with the role of cheerleaders in the National Football League.
The author makes assertions of cheerleading being âdegradingâ and âpresenting women as nothing more than objects to be leered atâ and even goes so far to call them âblow up dolls come to lifeâ.
Travis wonders why thereâs some random agitated woman at a newspaper writing editorials declaring what jobs be prohibited for women in this country.
âItâs always fascinating when you have women like this lecturing other women about what they can and canât do,â Travis said. âWomen trying to police the behavior of other women and saying what is acceptable and what is unacceptable is sexist.â
Travis also took exception to the author taking offense to how NFL teams evaluate their dancers physically, with teams even pushing weight limits.
Clay says their male counterparts in pads are literally facing the same requirements the girls are, saying cheerleading is a physical sport the same way football is.
âWhat do we do at the NFL Combine? We judge guys based on the way they look in spandex,â Travis said. âWhen you are in a physical business you are judged based on how you look physically. Guys still make fun of what Tom Brady looked like at the NFL Combine when he came out in his boxer shorts and looked like the dude at your fraternity house who just woke up after a late night bender.â
