The Lingerie Football League
September 4th, 2009 at 2:30 pm by David FarrarStuff covers the important issues today:
It does not require a great deal of imagination to work out the marketing strategy of the Lingerie Football League (LFL), which opens its debut season tomorrow (NZ time).
The underwear-clad female players are hoping, however – probably in vain – to be taken seriously.
The LFL, born out of the commercial success of the ‘Lingerie Bowl’, a halftime show of women in scanty outfits broadcast during the halftime break in the NFL’s Super Bowl, has 10 teams competing in seven-a-side full-contact American football, with players dressed in sports bras and the tiniest of shorts.
I suspect it will not be long until it is on Sky Sports. The AFL equivalent of beach volleyball!

“The AFL equivalent of beach volleyball!”
Vote:I think you mean the NFL equivalent to beach volleyball. NFL (national football league) is the American football competition. AFL is Aussie rules.

I’ll watch if there’s some body dimension criteria the players must meet.
Otherwise it could be nassty.

Rakaia George, Temepara and Adine would smack you for perving. These ladies would be too busy rearranging their VPLs to notice old fellas drooling on the sidelines.

I’ve never been very impressed with beach volleyball. I suspect this will be the same. If you’re going to watch soft porn, you may as well just watch soft porn. The Man Show in the US used to finish with video of lovely young ladies in bikinis jumping on a trampoline. Turn that into a sport and I’d watch it.

looks fantastic with the right girls ……but alas, this is NZ …and no doubt the ‘bigger and butch’ would soon take it over if it became popular

While this conceptually appears to be fabulous fun, the feminists are going to take over and it is just going to end up very much wrong.
Wait for the first woman of “inappropriate proportions” to apply to be a player despite exhibiting superior ball handling skills, be turned down and the LFL to be promptly sued.

I remember the daily show taking the piss out of their favourite target, fox news, over this.
Apparently fox and friends were bagging an mtv program held after 9pm at night where some fat dude shoved his butt in m&m(or however the fuck we spells it)’s face. The female presenter in particular went into some outrage.
Later fox and friends apparently covered lingerie football, and had a male reporter get tackled by one of the model cum sports-persons, her butt ending up in reporter’s face. The same female presenter who had bagged mtv went on to describe lingerie football as the best thing ever. More amusing still was that while mtv had broadcast at ~9pm, fox put the lingerie item on at 8.50am.

I am really surprised this is on American tv.
THey still getting over the Janice Jackson debacle.
The risk of an exposed nipple is huge.
I do find it highly offensive that nipples are anathema on US social sites but gratuitous violence
including real life violence committed by minors is acceptable.
You tube and Myspace are completely at ease with child violence. But show a nipple and you’re gone burger.
The US is really wack.
