Multiple former Washington Redskins cheerleaders spoke to the New York Times and outlined a 2013 trip to Costa Rica where they were required to be topless for a calendar shoot and "picked" to be personal escorts.
The photo shoot was held at the adults-only Occidental Grand Papagayo resort on Culebra Bay. Even though topless photographs would not be used in the calendar itself, some of the cheerleaders were required to remove their shirt. Furthermore, the team invited an all-male contingent of sponsors and FedExField suite holders to spectate.
In another instance, the cheer squad's director told nine of the 36 cheerleaders to be personal escorts at a nightclub, hand-picked by male sponsors.
