San Francisco may claim one of the world’s most politically correct strip clubs: the Lusty Lady, an establishment where patrons pay by the quarter to keep the windows up and open to a semicircle of attractive young ladies wearing very little. The whole place is female-owned, no touchy-touchy, and even earned a profile on HBO’s Real Sex as an innocent but still satisfying public spankmart of great prestige.

Cal linebacker Chris Purtz allegedly violated this “safe place for women…and quarters” early last Sunday when he became unruly after management dared to inform him and a friend he introduced as “his agent” that they could not, in fact, get prostitutes there. Then Purtz allegedly engaged in some behavior we’ll assume is expressly condemned by Berkeley’s student code, according to club staff:

Timmons said Purtz and his friend started calling him “n—-r” and “faggot.” Two other club employees corroborated this account with The Daily Californian.

Purtz said that he did not use slurs or solicit prostitutes, and also said there was no physical confrontation. He confirmed he was at the club and said he returned on Tuesday to clear up the facts of the event with employees.

Cal coach Jeff Tedford has suspended Purtz for having a name that would naturally drive one toward severe overcompensation in the form of participating in violent sports and theatrical behavior at strip clubs. Oh, and for the alleged incident, too, which the university is currently investigating.
