Lingerie Football Heats Up NYC

Big Apple gets team in undie-clad league

Share

(Newser) – New York’s getting a new football team, WPIX11 reports: the New York Majesty of the Lingerie Football League. That's right, the Lingerie Football League. Tryouts were yesterday, and a few dozen women showed up. “I'm just looking for the next fun thing,” said one. Another described her mother’s reaction: “‘What?! You're going to play football naked?'”

“It gives us a chance to prove we're just as good as the guys,” said an experienced player. “We can go out there and get dirty also."

The New York Majesty will join the LFL.

this is a prime example of how football isn't that "hard core" of a sport, and how sex sells. sad to think that this gimmick will work. Reply

If you would like to see a gimmick just look at the guy who got the big-breasted mannequin to save his business..And Yes, sex sells and what I believe is most of these girls will figure out that they are selling out ,too, and being exploited

Not sad if you know about evolution and the brain-sex-food-passing on your genes is still a driving force whether you want to admit it or not-and even if you don't believe it science can suppoirt it-read sex on the brain-written by a woman and articles on the female and male brain Reply

Demi so what if its in our genes.... my brain tells me that i should screw all woman--i should get out of my car and punch the guy in the face who cut me off -- but i control those urges. So there are a lot if things the are biological but that's not an excuse to actually follow through on the urge!
