![]() The woman, Maja Leye, tweeted that Sagan's pinch "was wrong" and "I hope this never happens again." But she also said she accepted his apologies - so no lasting harm seemed to be done. "I promise to act more respectfully in the future." I'm so sorry," the 23-year-old, looking genuinely contrite, said in a YouTube video. Sagan, who was on the podium as the race runner-up, later realized how inappropriate his gesture was. She couldn't see the grope coming because she had her back to him and was otherwise engaged doing her duty - planting a kiss on the cheek of race winner Fabian Cancellara. Photos caught him red-handed with a cheeky smile as he squeezed. I hate to say it that way, but like, you know, they are being used as eye candy and attracting people to the track, along with the drivers."Īre male attention spans so pitifully short that they lose their appetite for sports that don't offer side orders of female beauties to snort at?īoxing fans, for instance, can't talk among themselves for 60 seconds while fighters take breathers? They need women in bikinis and heels to entertain them and help them track the rounds because they can't count from one to twelve themselves? How sad.Ĭyclist Peter Sagan inadvertently raised such questions when he pinched the bottom of a "podium girl" at the Tour of Flanders, a race over cobbled roads and hills in Belgium. ![]() "These women are being photographed by thousands of people, all day long, and stared at kind of like a piece of meat. He designed the outfits - red cowboy boots, short white skirts, white tops with deep necklines - worn by the so-called "grid girls" at last year's Formula One race in Austin, Texas. That's what advertisers use and marketing companies use, because it just sells," said Ross Bennett. Sports that don't give women equal opportunities but encourage them to flash a bit of leg are suggesting that their place is to be the sidekicks of victorious men, instead of being victorious and competing themselves. So I'll keep watching desperately hopping that the trailer at the end of the pilot wasn't the best thing about the show.Ultimately, by doing so, they are saying that among the best uses for a woman is to look hot. There's so much room for improvement, considering that Jason Blum with Blumhouse (The purge, Whiplash) is producing. So I'm gonna hang on and cross my fingers because I want this show to be a good one. However, there's a silver lining, at the end of the pilot there was the "this season on Eye Candy trailer" that gave me a sliver of hope. They went "Game of Thrones" on us by killing a supposedly important character and it did not even worked because they never gave us time to care. Or maybe it was based on the assumption that we've all read the books - I didn't. The mediocre acting alone was painful to watch, the main characters introduction was weak as was the story line. I might be getting too old for this but the pilot was one of the worst I've seen this year. Eye Candy has great potential, the premise and mostly Lindy's back-story in the prologue was really good but the show kind of sucks. When the show was announced I thought I'd check it out, so I watched the pilot with hope of it being the next best thing and my heart sunk.
