This is perhaps one of the best concepts anyone has ever come up with. Seriously this is on a par with the guy who invented the wheel and possibly even reading and writing. Take two of our favourite things in life – sport and women in underwear –and combine them. Who ever invented this deserves some serious respect. The Lingerie Football League (LFL) is a women’s 7-on-7 tackle American football league.
Playing style is full contact and similar to other indoor football leagues. Uniforms consist of shoulder pads, elbow pads, knee pads, garters, bras, panties, and ice-hockey-style helmets with clear plastic visors in lieu of face masks. There are no field goals and no punts. There is a kickoff to start the game and second half. A team must attempt to get a first down on every fourth down. After a touchdown, a team can attempt a one-point conversion from the one yard line, or a two point conversion from the three yard line.
The league has been met with some criticism. Critics say the league degrades female athletes through “pernicious objectification”. Potential players have responded more positively, with one quoted assaying “I just appreciate playing football, I don’t care what they put me in.” and another favoring the limited clothing, saying “It’s more comfortable this way.” The league has been accused of fining players for wearing too many clothes.I guess you can’t please everyone. For those fit young fillies out there who would like to give this a bash the video below will give you some tips on how to get started.
