Soccer team apologizes for inviting stripper into locker room for celebration
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A Spanish soccer club was forced to apologize this week after a video surfaced of a stripper performing in the team’s locker room as players were celebrating its promotion to the Catalan Second Division.
The video showed the woman in what appeared to be a Catwoman costume dancing around and stripping down to her underwear in the middle of the locker room floor.
Diari de Girona, a local newspaper, reported that some of the players’ mothers were in the room as well.

Club Esportiu Llanca issued the apology in a statement, according to Daily Mail Sport.
“CE Llanca would like to apologize if anybody felt offended by the incidents which took place in the changing rooms once the first-team match ended,” the statement read. “It was never the intention to offend anyone, just to celebrate the promotion to the Catalan Second Division.”

“It was a party atmosphere, nothing got out of hand. There was [white wine], smiles and joy, but she did her show calmly and at the end, she got dressed and left. Everything was normal,” he said.
