Actually I don't remember those. Still, to each their own. I'm sure there's a group that will be offended by pretty much anything these days but I think the fact that one of these very women who could have been participating in this event mentioning it to us and giving us a head's up clearly states that there's a group out there who is in favor of events such as this. Sometimes I just find it frustrating because a person could easily make anything into an argument about Political Correctness or lack thereof.TheLionKing wrote:Beauty pageants such as Miss BC Lions and Miss Grey Cup etc. has been frowned upon by women's groups for years. They consider it to be demeaning to women. Remember they used to have a Miss PNE, Miss Vancouver etc.

Well said, NOJ.
What's the big difference between a Miss Grey Cup pageant and the existing Cheerleader Extravaganza that's already being exhibited during Grey Cup week?

Yes, you know, I find your alias quite offensive, because it belittles all the other Joes out there who are quite ordinary...No Ordinary Joe wrote:Sometimes I just find it frustrating because a person could easily make anything into an argument about Political Correctness or lack thereof.

But that's nothing... the Paper & Scissors Defence League are constantly on my case for fair and equal acknowledgement
Sports can be a peculiar thing. When partaking in fiction, like a book or movie, we adopt a "Willing Suspension of Disbelief" for enjoyment's sake. There's a similar force at work in sports: "Willing Suspension of Rationality". If you doubt this, listen to any conversation between rival team fans. You even see it among fans of the same team. Fans argue over who's the better QB or goalie, and selectively cite stats that support their views while ignoring those that don't.
Maybe the event was canceled because these guys started pushing for gender equality and demanded that they should also have the right to join the contest. The organizers couldn't bear to see them possibly being crowned as Miss Grey Cup, so they decided the fairest way to resolve the situation would be to cancel the event altogether.
The updated 2007 Grey Cup events page seems to confirm that the Miss Grey Cup pageant has been replaced with the event that the CFL has been holding for the last 15 years - the Cheer Extravaganza.
Unlike last year's event in Winnipeg and like the 2005 event in Vancouver, the Cheer Extravaganza will be free to attend. It's scheduled on the afternoon of Saturday, November 24 from 12:15 PM to 3:15 PM.

What do you say about exotic dancers, both male and female?
Isn't that also exploitation of people?

Are you saying the only differenc between the Felions and those dancing at No5 is that you don't get song number 3 and the shower?Canuck_4_Life wrote:What do you say about exotic dancers, both male and female?
