A bit ago I mentioned the Lingerie Football League. What started out as a pay-per-view half time show, has quickly formed into an entire league of ten teams that actually play full games. Uniforms consist of helmets, shoulder pads, elbow pads, knee pads, garters, bras and panties.
The founder of the LFL looks for three things when scouting women to join their teams-
*she must be beautiful (he explains that the girls must be marketable)
*in shape/athletic
*confident -to play in your underwear in front of millions, there’s got to be certain level of confidence, no?
I guess there has been quite a bit of criticism regarding the LFL and how it objectifies women, saying it’s
“disappointing that players have to put on revealing outfits in order to get recognized in the world of women’s football”
One player, a defensive end on team Bliss, was quoted disagreeing….
“I think it’s very empowering for women to be sexy AND tough!”

IDK. I guess I can see why it might bother some people… Kind of. (But I’m guessing these are the same people protesting Cheerleaders too????) If you’ve seen a LFL game, we’re not talking about ‘flag football’ here. It’s full contact, tackle football…not glorified mud wrestling.
But so that brings me to another interesting thought. One of my readers emailed me a bit ago and presented me with this question:
Lingerie Football aside. But ANY sport females participate in? I believe there are plenty of woman’s sports that don’t objectify women. But that’s not the question…… SO?
