“The atmosphere was very festive. Nobody went too far. There was cava, laughter and joy, but [the stripper] made her spectacle calmly and when she finished, she dressed and left. Everything is normal.”

-- Francesc Romero, the secretary for Spanish club Esportiu Llanca, trying to downplay what transpired when he decided to celebrate its promotion to the Catalonian second division (the sixth tier of Spanish soccer) by bringing a stripper in the locker room unbeknownst to the players -- and their mothers who joined them for the post-game party.
