I ran across an interesting little story involving a few ladies and the Portland Trail Blazers at a recent game in Dallas.
From insidehoops.com
With the NBA’s All-Star Weekend headed to Dallas on Feb.12-14, let’s hope the Mavericks and the NBA have a better handle on security than they did Saturday when the Trail Blazers were in town.
During a timeout with 41 seconds left in regulation, two women walked onto the court and into the Trail Blazers huddle. One woman wrapped her arms around the waist of Blazers guard Rudy Fernandez from behind. Fernandez, who was not in the game but focused on the plays being diagrammed by coach Nate McMillan, was stunned.
“I was surprised,’’ Fernandez said. “I was listening to the coach on the bench and behind me, she touches me and says, ‘Rudy, I love you. Nice to meet you. Good game.’’ …
The women were ushered away from the huddle, and amazingly allowed to return to their court-side seats under the basket and watch the remainder of the game, which went to overtime.
If that was two guys, they’d have been dragged from the scene, beaten by security, and thrown in the drink but because it was a couple of good looking ladies they got away with a serious security infringement with zero consequences.
The woman involved in this incident NEED to be treated the same as men (minus the beating please) for the simple fact that if they are not, it becomes a serious security hazard because of the following:
I don’t find it far-fetched that at some point in the near future these organizations are going to employ the services of some good looking woman to carry out their deeds.
In the age of extreme makeover shows — how hard would it really be to dump a comparatively insignificant amount of money into making some ordinary female religious extremist into a complete bombshell and then have her carry out some evil deed? Really, who is going to seriously question a woman like that?
I will not be surprised that if in the near future a horrific act of some kind is going to be committed by a beautiful young woman who, because of her looks, will have slipped through security with little to no resistance. I just have that feeling that it’s only a matter of time before this little social loophole come back to haunt us.
