THE BEST USA EXPORT IDEA EVER

by Mac G, Mac G's World

A brand new cricket league called the IPL (Indian Premier League) is making quite the splash in India. The league debuted last month and it is playing a condensed, more spectator friendly version of cricket called Twenty20.

The IPL is paying top dollar to its players with India Bollywood stars, India's equivalent of our Hollywood, in attendance and involved in team ownership.

In what could be defined as the best act of American diplomacy in the 2000s, the Washington Redskins have exported 12 of their cheerleaders to perform during IPL cricket matches.






The Redskins team are training IPL cheerleaders along with performing for the Bangalore Royal Challengers cricket team. Here is video of Skins' hotties breaking it down at the league's opening ceremony. (Performance starts at :37)



Some conservative Indian politicians are not happy with the new American cheerleaders as shown in this news report.



The Redskins cheerleaders' stay has been extended and the lovely ladies will continue their impressive promoting of all things USA!

I still do not know the rules of cricket but this sure was a clever marketing idea to get my ATTENTION.
