Bad things happen when those in power force their employees, as a matter of policy, into confidentiality agreements. My bailiwick is sports, and
this article about a team that insists on
racist branding, and, evidently, sexist creepiness, came across the transom:
This account of the Redskins’ calendar shoot at the Occidental Grand Papagayo is based on interviews with five cheerleaders who were involved, and many details were corroborated with others who heard descriptions of the trip at the time. The cheerleaders spoke on condition of anonymity because they were required to sign confidentiality agreements when they joined the team.
Probably just trying to protect proprietary information, right?
For the photo shoot, at the adults-only Occidental Grand Papagayo resort on Culebra Bay, some of the cheerleaders said they were required to be topless, though the photographs used for the calendar would not show nudity. Others wore nothing but body paint. Given the resort’s secluded setting, such revealing poses would not have been a concern for the women — except that the Redskins had invited spectators.
Non-disclosure agreements, like
attorney-client privilege claims, have become weaponized by weirdos.
