Garry1603 353 Posted February 9, 2018 This would be a great chance for speedway to make national news for good reasons for a change if they came out and said that the Grid Girls remain. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mark 1,497 Posted March 29, 2018 The world is far too politically correct. If a girl wants to earn money as a grid girl then why stop her. No one is forcing her to do the job, it's her choice to earn an honest sum of money. Those that are 'offended' should get more to do in there life. Too many people find offence at the slightest thing and it means the small minority rule for the majoritry because they are offended and something has to be done as a result. I'm grossly offended by those who find offence. Tell them to go forth 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s not about being offended. I’ve nothing against looking at attractive women. It’s just tacky for the same reason that I’ve never understood why it’s necessary to drape rather fake women over cars to sell them. I find it rather insulting that someone would think they could sway my purchase that way. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Another crazy idea would be to stop using grid girls. There is absolutely no need to still have them. Grid girls are a thing of the past and isn't something that should be present in 21st century motorsport events. Edited March 30, 2018 by Ghostwalker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I see nothing wrong with them or the concept and have every sympathy for those losing jobs that they love. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Icicle 896 Posted March 30, 2018 The "PC" argument is " stop exploitation of Women" but in actuality it is Male Chauvinists making sure there are less jobs for Women & their place is in the kitchen only. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
