  • Lingerie Football League Delegation
    The accompanying documents amply speak to the degradation, the exploitation and the cheapening of women as a result of Lingerie Football. The City signed an agreement with the U.S. based Global Spectrum to run the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre. Jason Blumenfeld is Global's hireling. The Contract presumably is a two-way thing. Global Spectrum profits, and the City of Abbotsford should profit too. The Contract contains a moral clause: Page 12, B MORAL CLAUSE "Licensee shall not use or attempt to use any part of the facility for any use or proposed use which would be contrary to law, common decency or good morals or otherwise improper or detrimental to the reputation of Licensor. " The contract with Global should have been terminated a long time ago. Global Spectrum gets paid, no matter how little money the AESC generates for the City, the tax-payers who must pay the loan and the interest on the borrowed money, as well as upkeep of the building. The money has not flowed both ways, as seen in the annual reports. Global Spectrum has not lived up to the promises made to us. Jason Blumenfeld is an American citizen, and an employee of a foreign company. No one in Abbotsford voted for him, or expects him to set policies that determine our moral compass. Jason Blumenfeld has no right to override the moral clause signed between the City and Global Spectrum. Our elected Mayor and Council have the authority and the duty to implement and enforce rules, regulations, and legally-signed contracts on behalf of the rest of the City.
