Magic Dancers should be spared from #MeToo purge

The San Antonio Spurs have dumped their dance squad. They haven’t said why, but it’s probably a reaction to the #MeToo mood of the country.

Given that, will the Orlando Magic tell their dancers to take a hike?

A team spokesman did not want to address the topic on Tuesday. But I got the distinct feeling the Magic Dancers are not going anywhere.

At the risk of sounding like Harvey Weinstein, good.

There’s more to this growing debate than the caricatures that are being drawn.

The biggest is that dancers/cheerleaders are merely being exploited as sexual objects, and like the circus, it’s time for society to move on to a more enlightened plane.
