(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.

Let's not over-analyze this. It's just entertainment. If the public wants it, they will support it. Otherwise, it will die due to unprofitability.

Ok. So first of all I am not a purist and secondly I don't really care about football; but for someone to say "It gives us a chance to prove we're just as good as the guys" what exactly do they mean? What criteria exactly does "good" describe? Surely she is not implying that lingerie football is anywhere close to actual full contact 350 pound muscle men slamming into each other at high speeds. Just saying.

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!
