There are lots of views on this topic obviously and I know that no one ever expected all of it to go over smoothly with everyone.  I'm sure a fair portion of my extended family in Jacksonville would guffaw at scantily clad ladies dancing about on pedestals in front of pool cabanas - despite the cheerleaders doing essentially the same thing on the sidelines.  (We are all - even the most conservative among us  - conditioned to expect cheerleaders at football games) 

 

FWIW - I read an article linked in another thread in which someone affiliated with the clevelander stated that they were in an "evaluation process" and that they would "tone it down" if need be. 

 

I'm sure some semblance of happy middle ground van be found, but of course you can never please everyone. 

 

I could see myself wandering into the Clevelander area at the end of a not so close game and hanging out for a few afterward while the parking lot thins.  I've "been there and done that" a bit too much to give a hoot about whether scantily clad go-go dancers are there or not. But I can dig the aesthetic.
