"Importing" apparently an NFL euphemism for "road trip prostitution"

    The Chiefs didn't make up importing. Athletes have been doing that for decades, except before they had to do the legwork and make phone calls. A girl I knew in Chicago went out once with a nice NBA player in the early 2000s (they met cute at Rock 'n Roll McDonald's) and he told her about lists with available women in each city. When she said she didn't buy it, he replied, "I have two kids with two women. How do you think that happened?"

    so you think they're the only team that does this?

    If you are shocked by this I'll let you in on a little secret, there is no Santa or Easter Bunny.

    My brother, who used to work as a bellboy at the Vinoy in St. Petersburg, always mentioned the "talent" that happened to check in whenever the Red Sox or Yankees were in town.

    Manny also "imported" a Dominican barber from Miami whenever the Red Sox were in town.

    But groupies showing up en masse and importing are different. I worked with a guy who pitched a story before the Masters about Augusta strip clubs bringing in scores of new girls that week. His hook was interviewing disgruntled regular dancers who lost their hours during the week.

    It did not make print.

    These weren't ladies waiting in the lobby, hoping to catch a ballplayers eye.

    Thanks for reading the first post of the thread. The only thing that shocks me is that Bowe admitted it.
