What were they thinking?

This is the type of thing that makes you wonder if people are regressing or progressing. How can anyone, in this day and age, think that a "racy halftime show" would be acceptable?

(And of course shame on the women for giving the lap-dances. Way to represent half the human race, ladies.)
Boston lacrosse team sorry for racy halftime show
BOSTON -- Boston's professional indoor lacrosse team is apologizing for a racy halftime show featuring scantily-dressed women giving lap dances to the team's mascot.

An online video shows dancers taking turns gyrating in front of and on the seated mascot, Scorch, while an announcer bellows, "What do you think?"

Boston Blazers general manager Doug Reffue says the team was "extremely disappointed" with parts of the halftime show Saturday at the TD Garden. On Monday, Reffue said it was part of a halftime promotion that "wasn't executed according to how it was spelled out to us."

Reffue said the dancers were not members of the Blazers' dance team, but fans who volunteered for the halftime promotion. He declined to discuss additional details, but said it won't happen again.
