I have read everything in this thread, and I feel compelled to post my opinion. It seems to me that a lot of Men and
partial teams Have eaten at hooters and thought it was a wonderful, family oriented sort of place... When I go to their website, however, I am told a different story. Among the first things that I see are their catch phrases: "Delightfully Tacky, yet unrefined." and "Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity." Both of which are noticeably smaller than the pictures of women in skimpy clothing. The rest of the homepage consists of a number of swimsuit adds, more pictures of women in skimpy clothing, and a bunch of publicity projects. Based on that alone, If I were a school-board official, I would not allow my team to be represented in a Hooters restaurant if they submitted a formal request. I don't feel that any school board official would, and I don't know how many of our team parents would be happy; but my guess is not many.
( and that's not even mentioning significant others
)
We have never eaten as a team at Hooters, and I would hope that the team wouldn't as it continues on down the road without me. That is not to say that it is a bad place for People to go in their spare time if that is the kind of thing that they like, but I just don't think it is a thing for a school related activity; especially one that can (and frequently does) have kids under the age of 12 participating.
Eh, Maybe I'm just crazy.
