Boy, I bet there were a few “tight end” jokes being cracked during this.
A lot of money was raised to battle breast cancer last Saturday in Clemson at the 2018 Dabo Swinney Ladies Clinic. Plenty of eyebrows have also been raised after racy video and pictures from the event were shared on social media.
Members of the Clemson Tigers college football team are pictured dressed in their underwear or rolled-up shorts, and a video shows star defensive lineman Christian Wilkins performing a striptease around a seated woman.
In the video, Wilkins guides one of the 3,000-plus participants in the event to a seat on the floor of Littlejohn Coliseum, as a crowd of women look on in the background at an event where the university invited female fans to participate in drills, meet coaches and players.
While holding her hand, Wilkins guides the woman to a seat, which she takes with dramatic flair. As Wilkins circles the woman a number of times, she playfully reaches for him.
He eventually tears off his tank top and begins to briefly dance in front of her, then drops to grind on the ground. He rises and approaches the seated woman in an embrace before circling her again and draping a leg over her shoulder.
The video ends as Wilkins and the woman swap positions, with her rising to face him as he sits in the chair.
Is it worth bothering with a “stay classy, Clemson” here?
The perfect topper to this would be if the woman tipped Wilkins and the school had to report that as a secondary violation.
IPTAY etiquette says the going rate of bill to stick in the jock strap of a dancer is … what? … a fiver? … a twenty?

You saying they only raised the money because dancing? LOL.

No I did not say that……from the article….”the university invited female fans to participate in drills, meet coaches and players.”
Was there something else going on? These guys put on a little extra of a show, harmless fun, and it helped raise money for a good cause.

The LOL should have been a hint I was kidding you.
That being said, they would have raised the same amount of money without the striptease act.

Oops, I misunderstood. That said, now that the striptease has occurred I am betting they raise a lot more from the gate next year.

…and if that was the women’s basketball or ladies’ soccer team putting on that same “show,” how many righteous fans would have taken it so well?
I would imagine any male coach of that female team would have been fired.

There’s something really unsettling about this, and it plays more and more into the exploitation of these athletes. Sure, the kid thinks it’s funny, but is it really okay for the adults in the room to let him get away with a striptease for a fan?
Clemson’s not getting close to the sexual exploitation of an athlete with this; they’ve breezed across the line. And let’s not pretend they wouldn’t have made a pile of money also if they’d done a “faux gala” with the guys dressed up in tuxedos or suits and an “awards banquet” type thing instead. At least that’s kind of coded.
I’m going to be damn embarrassed when something similar to this potentially comes out at UGA.

So if this happened at Baylor would it be ok? To me it is showing the school and coaching staff condone this behavior. If he was third string he would have been suspended, but then again she probably wouldn’t want a third stringer dancing for her.
