Insignificant?

TMZ recently broke a story involving alleged racist comments made by Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling.  Since then this story has taken the media by storm with all sorts of coverage.  This story grabbed so many headlines that it seems that everyone has some thing to say about it including big names such as Snoop Dogg, Magic Johnson, and even President Obama .  While some of these comments are made more eloquently than others they all of them express their genuine disapproval.  However this clear presence of discrimination in a sports organization is not the only one to grab headlines this week.  Recently a lawsuit has been filed by a Buffalo Bill's cheerleader where she claims that the cheerleaders had been underpaid for countless hours of public appearances where the cheerleader were sexually objectified.  The cheerleader also disclosed a hand book where the Jills (clever name for cheer leading team) were given guidelines for almost all types of behavior they must meet including rules for how they are supposed to wash their vagina.  In an interview with the Huffington Post former Bill's cheerleader Alyssa details the "jiggle test" she stated ""One week prior to the game, we were to dress in our uniforms and stand before our coach, who had a clipboard in her hand, and we had to face forward, turn around, face back to the front and do about 10 jumping jacks. And from there, she would write down on her notepad what parts of our bodies jiggled," she said." 

With these two clear cases of appalling discrimination and objectification that are present in two sports programs it saddens me that this prevalent problem is taking the back seat to the issue with the clippers, and in many ways the pressure being put on the Bills is being alleviated by the story with Donald Sterling and the Clippers.  Even though the issue with the Clippers are based on pure opinion held by the owner where he in no way acted in his organization upon this discrimination as evident by the overwhelming number of African american team member, we have a clear case where owners of the Buffalo Bills actually acted on their opinions where we have clear victims and yet we don't see overwhelming support from female celebrities or even females in general.
