RICK’S CABARET ENTERTAINERS FORM A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN DURING NBA LOCKOUT
The NBA lockout has reached four months, and there's more than just negotiating with the NBA Commissioner that's left the players union restless. There's also issues they have to work out amongst themselves. The two sides don't have any negotiating sessions scheduled. There seems to be no end in site at this point.
As the sports world suffers a void as the baseball season is over and the NBA season is up in the air. A group of topless dancers from Rick’s Cabaret's gentlemen’s clubs have formed their own basketball league to try to take up some of the slack as the National Basketball Association negotiations continue. Rick’s Cabaret International, Inc. (NASDAQ:RICK), is the publicly traded group of 22 upscale gentlemen’s clubs that are popular with pro athletes and their fans.
Dancers from Rick’s Cabaret/New York City introduced the new Rick’s Basketball Association (the RBA) and their sexy new uniforms at a press conference on Nov. 1st at Rick’s Cabaret, 50 West 33rd St., New York City. The league’s teams are being assembled at the company’s Tootsie’s Cabaret in Miami, Club Onyx in Charlotte, Houston, Dallas and Philadelphia, and Rick’s Cabarets and XTC Cabarets in New York, Houston, Dallas, Minneapolis and Indianapolis.
“We have all been disappointed that the NBA season hasn’t gotten underway yet, and a number of players who stop by the club have told us that they’d pay to see us play in our stripper heels, so we decided to form our own league,” said Gianna, a player for a team made up of dancers from the New York City club. “We plan to play as long as the NBA is locked down. We’ll announce all the details and introduce the Rick’s Cabaret New York City team at our press conference and I guarantee you it will be hot.”
“In designing our team’s outfit we decided less is more,” said Sky, another member of the New York team.
