The Giants are killing the mood.
Following Eli Manning and Co.’s fifth straight loss to open the season, Rick’s Cabaret, a Midtown Manhattan strip club, has decided it will not show Giants games on its TVs for the rest of the season.
Less than two years removed from a Super Bowl title, the Giants are one of four teams without a win yet this season (Steelers, Jaguars, Buccaneers).
“After five straight losses, the crowd turned and started booing the TVs. The girls had to work extra hard. We are the first club to ban the Giants,” club spokesperson Lonnie Hanover said, confirming a story from Busted Coverage.
The blog received this memo from Rick’s Cabaret on Sunday night:
“Rick’s Cabaret New York, the famous gentlemen’s club in Manhattan, will no longer show NY Giants football games on the club’s numerous Hi-Def TVs and big screens.
“It has become too painful to watch the Giants lose week after week,” said Rick’s Cabaret Girl Monica.
“Nobody throws a party better than Rick’s Cabaret–we are all about fun–and it’s no fun watching the Giants anymore,” explained Rick’s Cabaret Girl Lindsay. “We love the Giants, but they get the crowd at our Weekend Football Viewing Parties all depressed.”
Rick’s Cabaret Girl Alexandra discussed the Giants/Eagles game. “There’s like a hundred sexy topless girls here and everyone was exceedingly happy until it became clear during the second half that Eli Manning and the Giants were going to lose again.”
Rick’s Cabaret Girl Yvonne said, “I’ve been showing off my new 34Ds and getting compliments all the time, except right after Giants games–the guys are sort of deflated–they take that football stuff too seriously!”
“We will continue to show all other NFL teams and sporting contests on our TVs,” said Hanover.
The Giants play their next game Thursday night against the Bears. The 31 other teams, including the terrible Jaguars, will continue to be shown at the club.
“We are responding to our audience wishes. We support them and we wish them well,” Hanover said.
The Jets’ circus is no longer the most embarrassing act in town.
