First of all I happen to be friends with all of these so-called "Hooters-like girls" and I really don't know where you see any comparison besides gender (and I guess they wear a little orange too) between the Flyers Ice Team and Hooters girls. The outfits the Ice Team wear fully cover their entire bodies (maybe an inch of stomach shows on a couple of them - oh no!) and they don't do anything besides promote the Fan Gear products, clean the ice during TV timeouts, and help root on the team (no they are not cheerleaders!). How anything they do is seen as distasteful in today's society is beyond me (and anyone else I know) as they do their jobs with class and dignity; they're not selling themselves, they're selling the product that is Flyers hockey. If you think the Delta Dental Flyers Ice Team is a bad thing then please don't go to a Wings lacrosse game and see the lingirie calendar their "Angels" cheerleaders did.
