Lingerie football

No, not that kind of football. The other kind that the Americans play. For years we've been told that it is a tough, macho game that only testosterone charged all American beefcake males can play.

OK America, the game is up. The truth is out. I'll never believe all that stuff about jocks and grid-iron again.

Warning, the link contains pictures that are not at all NSFW IMO but I know how some people get ridiculously uptight if there is even the slightest chance of a picture of a woman being interpreted in a way that could be considered sexually exploitative so, if that's you, don't clink the link. It's only a bunch of women playing "football" anyway.

To me, it looks like the kind of event that only tough, macho, testosterone charged all American beefcake males can enjoy watching, after having played a game or two of macho, testosterone charged all American game of football themselves, and while drinking a few bottles of macho, testosterone charged all American Bud beer on Al Bundy's couch.

LOL

Yeah, that about covers it.

I forgot to say that Al Bundy will be saying "Hooters! Hooters!" all the time, before going for a tough, macho, testosterone charged all American dump in his Ferguson toilet, the King of Bowls, and giving it his best shot, before flushing (of course, with a manly powerful flush that only an all-american 3 gallon tank can give you, before those damn tree huggin' commies stepped in).

Whilst we are on this theme, is there anyone else that sees something fundamentally wrong with cheerleaders?

I don't mean the fact that they are basically the female high-school versions of the jocks: bullying, dumb, self absorbed and pretty. (That's if I am to believe what Hollywood tells me - and, to be fair, I see no real reason why I should.)

No, I mean the basic principle of young girls wearing short skirts, flashing their knickers and waving their pom-poms at 40,000 beer swilling middle aged men. Girls aspire to it, parents push their children towards it. "Go on honey, go out there dressed like a slut and dance for all the menfolk. Make Mommy proud." I... I don't get it.

I don't get it at all. The CROWD is who cheers, the "cheerleaders" just get in the way. I want to shout at them "PUT ON SOME CLOTHES YOU FREAKING IDIOT! THIS SPORTING EVENT IS ABOUT THE ATHELETES, NOT YOU!"

EDIT: And I usually don't care that much about the atheletes, either. They often have a horrible attitude.

Think I may start watching football...

Cheerleaders used to be male, and i beleive in the audience, to lead the cheers. It's an one of my old volumes of The Captain, maybe the 1917-18 one (alongside loads of stuff about the horrible huns).

Mind you aren't these "young girls" 18 or 19? And whatever "dressing like a slut" is, it doesn't make you one. Not that there's anything wrong with being one as long as you're safe about it. It's only sticking one thing in another thing.

And that's the beauty of democracy.

As far as dressing like sluts goes, Russian cheerleaders win.

Cheerleaders are for porn, kinda like schoolgirls in Japan.

LFL is old news.

My girlfriend was gonna buy me tickets to one of these games for Christmas (awesome) but their season was over (doh).

Plus, it (probably) didn't involve penises. Oh wait...

Maes, your first two posts were gold. This last one was alright but you need to learn the best time to make your exit.

I don't get this event at all. Do the girls want to dress like that to play Football, or is it some sort of "Required Uniform"? Because that doesn't look protective at all...

And the "jerseys" just pissed me off. What's the point of even having them? It's just a white shirt cut off at the breasts... of course. I... I don't get it. Although I kinda like it... but the women also scare the hell (or semen) out of me.

I fail to see your so-called "problem".

Football is still the most uninteresting sport in history from my perspective. This changes nothing.

I say baseball and golf top football in the "boring as hell to watch" category.

Plus, Lingerie Baseball would probably bring up too many jokes about bats and balls.

Mmmm, mouthguards...

Football is more than a game...it's a war...every Sunday...

sooo, in this 'sport'... they do have to make out wildly after a tackle, right?

Yeah, it's like those fantasy characters dressed in bikini chain mail. "Don't touch my boobs or crotch but go ahead and slash, hack and stab the rest of my body to shreds!"

The bikini at least really does make sense for beach volleyball... Besides, from a voyeuristic perspective, in volleyball the players hop around in relatively fixed locations you can eye clearly. Here, they run across a large field, pushing and sacking each other in a rough manner.

Would chess boxing be more to your liking?

Way exciting...

I vote Nascar as the worst. At least in football you don't have to wait for the crashes.

Yeah, NASCAR is pretty bad, too. The worst part is that destruction derbies are the same thing but with 5000% more crashes, but no one ever pays attention to them for some reason.

Golf is at least kind of fun to play (I think, I've only played mini-golf and been to a driving range). Baseball is actually kind of interesting to watch because when they're standing around they're throwing each other all kinds of little signals (though the minors are more fun then MLB because there is less standing around). Football is terribly boring to watch and just as boring to play. It's like 10 seconds of pushing then 3 minutes of standing around waiting for the next bit of pushing.

Maybe. TBQH I hate spectator sports. I'd much prefer actually playing than watching anything, and as I said football is even boring to play.

Meh, this is just to get new viewers by using sex appeal as a gimmick.

Really?

I hate American football as much as Enjay hates real football.

Seriously, football is boring. Add guns and I'll watch.

Yea, football now a days is alot more boring..........no one is allowed to hit anyone too hard so boring. It'd be great (though expensive) if it were robots with guns :P

It's still a far more legitimate sporting contest than anything done by the WWF.

Make 'em naked and I'm sold.
