WWE Protested In Burlington, VT
I live in VT, and have every intention of going to the August 5th showing.
Apparently this past weekend in Burlington, where the crew is coming, there has been some protesting against their visit. A do-gooder named Marie Eddy believes that wrestling promotes violence against women and is pornographic.
“We don’t find violence against women funny or entertaining,” Eddy said, “Young children are watching this. And there is a whole pornographic aspect of it, that we don’t think is healthy.”
Eddy believes that the scenes where the male wrestlers intimidate and almost hit female wrestlers (I’m assuming she never saw the Carlito/Torrie debacle) put things in a bad light for children.
In fact, some residents of Burlington have asked the town to stop allowing WWE to come to the town. They keep agreeing, though, because the shows make so much money and often sell-out.
Go ahead Burlington - tell them they can’t come - I’m sure there’s another town in Vermont that will be happy to take the revenue - and hopefully it’s one a little closer to where I live!
