Washington Redskins cheerleaders were required to pose topless for a photo shoot in 2013, while spectators invited by the team looked on, the New York Times reported Wednesday.
Some of the cheerleaders were then required to attend a nightclub event as escorts for some of the team's male sponsors, according to the Times.
The cheerleaders said there was no sex involved, but they felt the team was "pimping us out." The incidents occurred on a weeklong trip to Costa Rica, for which the cheerleaders were not paid.
"It's just not right to send cheerleaders out with strange men when some of the girls clearly don't want to go," one of the women told the paper.
