"the cream of the towns totty"

I was at the match last night, our town's league football team.

They have some dancers/cheerleaders who perform before the game and at half time. TBH, I'm not entirely happy with young women wiggling their barely covered backsides being considered family entertainment, but appreciate I have a choice about going and about taking my DC.

Last night though, after their performance, the announcer thanked "the cream of [town's name] totty". Is that on? The club goes to great lengths to encourage young fans. I take my two DSs, and I'm doing my best to raise them to respect women.

Football is at great pains to show it's trying to eliminate racism, but sexism is OK?

So, AIBU to complain, or over-reacting? If I should complain can you help me word it to be sensible/quote the law etc, rather than just pious?

Should I complain to the club, FA, local paper...? Or not at all?

My DH and I met at work. He tells me that I was often referred to by other male members of staff as "top tottie".

I know it's really sexist, but I was (and still am) strangely happy that my 23 year old self was once thought of as being "top tottie". Sorry.
