I read an article that shocked me yesterday. I was scanning the Huffington Post and came across an article entitled Sex Trafficking: There's More to the Super Bowl Than Sports. The article describes how tens of thousands of women and minor are trafficked to the city where the Super Bowl is being held annually. Shared Hope International is quoted in the article as stating "Children exploited through prostitution typically are given a quota by their trafficker/pimp or 10-15 buyers per night... though some service providers report girl having been sold to as many as 45 buyers in a night at peak demand times, such a sporting event." This is the seedy underbelly of of this all-American event. If this atrocity was brought to light, I wonder how many people would boycott the event on principle? I know I will from this point forward.
