Unfortunately, I'm afraid the elimination of the NASCAR and IMSA paddock girls will be next -- based again on a decision by men. I don't think they see the irony. All the grid girls I've ever communicated with LOVED their job and many use it as a springboard to other modeling, etc.

Liberty's statement, read in part, “... it was not consistent with our ‘brands values.’ ” Code for "we're being pressured by tiny little political minorities comprised of overweight and unattractive women who could never become a grid girls."

What a shame.

What they should remove from tv is the wall of girls applauding the podium drivers , who don't even acknowledge them as they run up to have their bottled water and put on their caps !

Just sayin ...
god bless MTL women

What they really mean t to say: Women can only work in jobs we find acceptable. It's unfair that some women are better looking than others.

"Rebecca Cooper, a five time F1 grid girl, said on Twitter that it is "ridiculous that women who say they are 'fighting for women's rights' are saying what others should and shouldn't do, stopping us from doing a job we love and are proud to do. [It is] political correctness gone mad."

She's right. She posted the outfits she has worn for 5 years on the F1 grid in her Twitter feed and there was nothing wrong with them -- and I'm certain the Bahrain and race in Dubai do not have women in anything close to being racy.... but you should read the nastiness from some of these "feminists" on Twitter against her... It's funny because I thought being a feminist was all about doing what you wanted to do, not what a group of people want you to do...
