Ricciardo's view seems to align with the accepted societal norms in Australia at the moment. I heard a podcast discussing the planned cricket T20 tournament for the UK in 2020. The Australian cricketer Glenn Maxwell was asked what they should include from the big bash and IPL - his suggestion was cheerleaders!
If the sporting world thinks that the way to entice people to view a new competition is through the use of attractive females - then it must be hard to convince them to remove such 'attractions' where they already exist?
