Buffalo Bills Cheerleaders Are Told How To Wash Their Vaginas

Could it possibly be against the law, in anyway, to tell cheerleaders this? My highlight.

Deadspin reports
There are a few things you need to know if you want to be a successful Buffalo Bills cheerleader. "When menstruating, use
a product that [sic] right for your menstrual flow," reads the "General hygiene & lady body maintenance" section of the handbook given to cheerleaders, known as the Jills. "A tampon too big can irritate and develop fungus. A product left in too long can cause bacteria or fungus build up. Products can be changed at least every 4 hours. Except when sleeping, they can be left in for the night."...

You can find both the 2013-14 code of conduct for Jills and a list of the various beauty, hygiene, and social requirements they're expected to fulfill at the bottom of the page. They come to us courtesy of the law firm representing five former Jills who are suing their old handlers for allegedly violating a number of New York labor laws. Named in the suit are the Bills themselves, Stejon Productions, and Citadel Communications Company. (At different times, Stejon and Citadel managed the cheerleading teams for the Bills.)...

The bottom document is the "NFL Buffalo Jills Cheerleaders Agreement & Codes of Conduct 2013-2014," which is essentially the boilerplate rulebook for cheerleaders around the league. There, the basic practice and gameday rules are laid out, including how many excused absences from practice a cheerleader is allowed before dismissal, where she must get her hair done, and the scores of ways she can be fined, benched, or dismissed. It's all pretty standard....

There are the instructions on how to facilitate a breezy yet enjoyable conversation (everything quoted below is sic):

14. Do not be overly opinionated about anything. Do not complain about anything- ever hang out with a whiner? It's exhausting and boring.

18. Do not use slang in conversations. Never use words/phrases such as: "like", "I seen it", "You's guys", "dude", "them guys" "pee" & "ain't".

19. Use "Oh my goodness" rather than "Oh my GOD".

26. Do not consume conversations & watch body language. Be aware of female companions and children. Always turn the conversation back to the other person. Never flirt!

29. Watch other poor manners or nervous habits such as: Nail-biting, knuckle/neck cracking, excessive sniffling and too many arm movements.

30. Always say "excuse me" when you burp, sneeze or cough. Even if you think there isn't anyone around.

Always avoid:

-Politics

-Religion

-Sexual references

-Talking "about last night"

-Don't try talk about your personal life: job, boyfriends, what you're doing later, etc…

-Inappropriate jokes

-Strong opinions

-Gossip

-Saying "I" or "me" too often.

You also learn the proper way to keep a clean, healthy body...

16. Wash your feet daily ! This will help control foot odor & keep fungus from developing in toenails. Cotton socks also help with odor. Nylons and nylon socks create sweaty feet which creates odor.
You get a good two and a half pages on formal dining etiquette:

1. When several of the same utensils are offered, start with the outermost utensil and use one for each course. In a formal setting, the silverware will be removed with the dish, leaving you with a clean slate.
2. When cutting meat. Never cut the full piece of meat all at once. Cut as you go, American style (cut and switch fork to right hand to eat) or European style (keeping fork in left hand to eat) eating is acceptable.

3. When trying to "capture" a small piece of food onto a utensil, it is acceptable to use another utensil for aiding it aboard. Never use your fingers.

6. Soupspoon. Dip the spoon into the soup, moving it away from the body, until it is about two-thirds full, then sip the liquid, without slurping, from the side of the spoon without inserting the whole spoon into the mouth. This prevents soup from being spilled onto your clothes.

10. Bread. Should be torn to eat and/or butter, not cut with a knife. Do not overeat bread at a formal setting.

12. Eat at the same pace as the people you are dining with.

16. Never talk with food in your mouth. If asked a question while chewing, simply hold up your index finger to imply "one moment" and then speak after you swallow.

25. Never debate politics, religion or any other sensitive issues while dining.

And you get some general etiquette tips, like "Don't ask for cash gifts as wedding gifts (in print), Rely on word of mouth instead,"...

  1. After reading this POS, it dawns on me that I will never be a fucking cheerleader. I use too much slang.

  2. Think this is bad? Try reading the Navy Blue Jackets Manual. Then think, if you're a guy, you can get conscripted into that agreement. They chose to be cheerleaders. This is what their employers expect of them. If they didn't think it was worth the compensation, they could have said, "no thanks." Why did they wait until the end of their cheerleading careers to file suit? To milk these guys for everything the government will get them.

    1. Just your typical entitlement whores. Gimme, gimme because I'm a woman. And they want to be treated equally? Sure no problem. How about start acting like it first? Same goes for the feminized men who act the same way.
