For Women Who Want The Ballerific Life!
Sports Grid.com Has Something To Say Too
http://www.sportsgrid.com/media/baller-alert-website-jersey-chasing...
The website balleralert.com is all the rage over the last two days. First, the New York Post gave it a writeup. Then, Jezebel chimed in. Why all the consternation over a site that, as Jezebel points out, currently has a top story with the innocuous-sounding title, “Marrying For Money: Gold Digger or Financial Planner?” Let’s check the opening to the Post’s story:
She slips an expensive Rolex around her wrist and slings a stylish $3,000 Gucci bag over her shoulder. A football star lavished her with these little luxuries, but now — after finally bedding the NFL
player — she wants a car.“With christmas coming, I think now is as good of time as any to throw that out there lol . . . Nothing major, just a CTS or a 535 or something . . . 40-50 thousand range,” writes a Brooklyn woman who goes
by the handle “Angelina Yee.”
Oh. Um, yeah. That’s probably why.
BallerAlert, you see, has not only posts like the one we mentioned before, but a thriving community of groupies, who use the site to figure
out the best strategies for successful jersey-chasing (and, apparently,
once they do that, the best strategies for successful car-getting). Remember Off The market – the company aiming to deter cheating that we wrote about two months ago? BallerAlert is basically the polar opposite.
Jersey-chasing is a subject almost guaranteed to pique interest (as we can attest, thanks to this post), so it’s not surprising a specialty site like this would come about/get popular (after all, similar things have already happened for music [fair warning: NSFW link]). But is that at all a good thing? Sadie Stein at Jezebel says:
What’s especially odd about the site is the readiness with which the women self-identify as groupies and golddiggers. I mean, it’s neither ironic nor empowering if you’re actually living down to a
stereotype in every particular.
Tough to argue that. But, as she also says, there are two sides to that coin:
And frankly, the athletes who involve themselves in the dynamic are doing the exact same thing (plus, it’s hard to sympathize with a high-profile star who’s cheating and risks exposure.)
Athletes (and musicians, and other high-profile entertainers) have cheated (or just chased, or been chased) for pretty much as long as
their skills have afforded them money and recognition. It was almost
inevitable that communities of groupies would emerge in the internet age
– giving niche areas a home is pretty much what the internet is about.
But we can also see why there’d be unease with that idea among the non-groupie crowd – the fact that just the word ‘groupie’ itself brings
with it negative connotations, the fact that it’s openly discussed how
to try to get some guy to give you a car – and why that same crowd would
want the blame for scenarios like the car request spread among both
sides. Anyone who wants to live the life is free to do it – but even
easy sex can come with its own set of problems…and it’s the job of the
chased to know what they’re potentially getting themselves into.

Why do people care so damn much? Why are we enemy? Nobody gives too s**** when these dudes go on twitter talking about their preferences in "exotic women", nobody cares when these dudes cheat on their wives, or rape women or get diseases-nothing! Nobody cares, but their worried about a few women who come across these cheating dogs and tell THEIR stories. Their worried that these guys CHOOSE to spend money on these women (most likely as hush money). These men choose to give money to groupies, dates, women, gold diggers, whatever you want to call it. All the woment that date these athletes (especially the ugly ones) whether white girls, black, ghetto, whore, slut, gold digger, good girl, girl next door, celebrity chick, etc., are all after these athletes for the same thing. HIS MONEY! HIS STATUS. It's a double standard, and these stupid women journalist are not sticking up for the women they should be sticking up for but rather riding the dicks of the athletes like everybody else.

The article on sport grid was written by a guy so therefore he's biased and by compiling certain quotes from Jezebel and NYP he makes it seem as if BA only has one purpose and the writing is slanted.

This site is an interest group, as are most forum driven websites. There are websites for chubby chasers (people who love obese people), there are websites for sickos who love pedophilia and child pornography. There are websites for people who are avid interracial daters. There's something for everyone on the world wide web.
Women seeking men of substantial financial means precedes balleralert.com, it's ancient. Men seeking the best looking women that they can afford precedes balleralert.com, it's ancient. Besides, if the press wanted a real story on "gold diggers" they wouldn't be on balleralert at all, they'd be trying to interview Ivanka or Millania Trump, or Yoko Ono, or the chick Hugh Heffner just proposed to, or any other woman that habitually dates and/or marry men with REAL WEALTH, because athletes are not wealthy. They're rich (for now), but those men are not wealthy at all. Talk to the women who date/marry the men who sign the athlete's checks, and then, maybe you'd have a story about some true gold diggers.

I'm glad Boss' site is getting some attention...maybe they will also learn that for the most part, a lot of the women on BA that participate in the blogs and discussions have careers of their own and are extremely successful....Of course no woman wants a broke man..what would be the fun in that...But while they are snooping around and only posting the "baller" disscusions, how about they look deeper into what we discuss. We talk about politics, religion, sex, money etc....How about they shine some light on that...Shine some light on how a lot of us have never even met but we feel as though we're a family and we support and uplift each other in times of need...Seriously, if "ya'll" are gonna be writing up stories about BA...write about how BOSS took the time to send out a FREE shirt to every avid member....If you're gonna be a "journalist" research your stories and maybe do some interviews instead of just browsing and using the lazy tatic of copy & paste....

At the end of the day, SEX is always gonna sell. They are gonna use that to get clicks and traffic. We all know who we are. No other site is ever gonna make me out to be anything that I'm not. I knew what perception could come along with being a member of this site. Wife, mother, girlfriend, jumpoff, mistress, and groupie not one of them are f'in for free whether they want to admit it or not. Here at BA, it's real talk! Let them care.... cause we don't. *Kanye shrug*
