MAYBE she should have just carried a loaded firearm into Giants Stadium.
VIDEO QUIZ: Athletes’ Wives and Lovers
Over 30 years, Sondra Fortunato has become the unofficial mascot of her favorite NFL team, delighting and annoying fans at Giants home games with her bodacious physique, rhinestone tiara and skimpy outfits that heat up the frigid stadium.
But now, team management wants Sondra to hang up her D-cups.
Sondra will have to dress like a – shudder! – normal person if she wants to cheer on Big Blue.
“I love the Giants! I’m a flamboyant dresser and I’m well-endowed,” Sondra told me.
“Look, I’m a middle-aged woman, I really don’t like to give my age – say I’m middle-aged. But Madonna goes out and she’s got everything hanging out, and she’s middle-aged!”
Yes indeed.
Is this not the wackiest thing to happen to the Giants since Plaxico Burress scarfed down food meant for hungry strippers before plugging himself in the thigh?
Last Sunday, Sondra, whose niece, Paula, is divorcing Sumner Redstone, arrived at the Meadowlands in a tiara, fishnets, a Santa outfit, a bathing-suit bottom and high-heeled boots. “Nothing was showing,” she insisted. “You couldn’t even see my underwear. I don’t flash!”
She carried a suitcase containing Christmas presents, and held a pair of 11-by-17 signs. One read, “Go Giants.” The other, “Have a No Guns Christmas.”
Then, Sondra was escorted to the security office – “where all the alcoholics and drunks and people ejected from the stadium stay.”
She was told that her bag and signs were not allowed in the stadium, which she knew: In 2006, Sondra was arrested after carrying a sign, but was quickly allowed back in the stadium. She says team brass routinely ignores its no-sign policy – for others.
Then, she was lectured about her clothes.
“They said, ‘Can’t you come to the stadium dressed like a regular person?’ ” she said. “They said there were a lot of kids there.”
She was advised to wear a sweater to games.
“I guess some ladies got jealous and complained,” groused Sondra, who lives in Toms River, NJ.
The Giants maintain that Sondra was ejected because she violated rules against signs and baggage – although no one confiscated her bag on the way into the stadium. A team spokesman refused to comment on Sondra’s eye-popping mode of dress.
Is this the last we’ll see of Sondra Fortunato’s overflowing assets?
Stay tuned, sports fans.
