I feel the lingerie bowl is sad, sick, and demeaning toward women, since it just encourages people to value women mostly for their beauty. How pathetic, that the only way you can get people to watch women athletes playing American football is to have the women strip down and wear bikinis.

The lingerie bowl makes me especially sad because there actually is a women's full tackle football league, the IWFL, which has the sport as its main goal rather than titillating audiences. How sad that news agencies don't focus on this league and the hard work and accomplishments of the athletes:

IWFL: Independent Women's Football League - where the SPORT is what matters:

Independent Women's Football League (IWFL)

If it was Lady Gaga doing it you'd be saying how she's 'making a statement about women's sexuality' or some crap.

Oh, the lingerie football league women *are* making a statement about women's sexuality, Urban, just as Lady Gaga is, but I see their statements as being somewhat different. Here are the statements I hear them saying:

Lingerie Football League women: "We're sexy and hot! Objectify us! We love it! Watch us fight together for your pleasure!"

Lady Gaga: "I'm sexy and hot and funny-looking and odd and violent and angry and horrifying and loving. Objectify me but realize I am more than just an image to be consumed, and so your objectification fails. I will not let myself be categorized into some mold you create for me. I am my own unique person."

To me, the difference is pretty obvious--I can feel it when I watch them--although I agree there is some overlap in their statements. Maybe you don't see it the same way as I do, though.

My favorite statement, by the way, is by Brandi Chastain of soccer fame who also plays in the International Women's Football League: she is just living her life as an athlete, appreciating her fellow athletes and the chance they have to play their sports together. I admire her quite a bit because her statement is in how she lives her daily life.

The point is that the Independent Women's Football League (IWFL) isn't *trying* to turn anyone on like the Lingerie League women are. The IWFL athletes are simply people playing a sport they love to play. I wouldn't expect watching a sport...whether one with female or male athletes...to be a turn-on, anticipation.

I don't find the lingerie football league degrading really.. I just view it as an opportunity for sexy girls to make a good amount of money without really doing that much. When you're that beautiful, you are selling your sex appeal. That's why there are models. They aren't embarrassed by their bodies that they've worked hard on.
The IWFL certainly has some fans, so I disagree with your statement that it "will never be watched," since that is false already.

Also, your perspective that no one wants to see "ugly" women play a sport is odd, because people who really love and respect and understand sports don't watch them because someone is considered beautiful or not...they watch them to see people overcoming obstacles through hard work and skill, within their skill range. That's my view, at least. Sports are about developing your personal athletic skills to the best of your ability. Winning is really a secondary issue, I feel.

Example: if a 7 foot tall man can dunk a ball in a basketball hoop all the time, I'm not too impressed. If a 5 foot tall woman makes a slam dunk sometimes...THAT impresses me.

The Lingerie Football League is no more degrading than being a pin-up poster and having people not care about anything other than your appearance.

I definitely find it degrading that the Lingerie Football League women are encouraged not to protect their skin, because the lack of jerseys increases the chance of skin abrasion and damage during tackling and skids on the turf:



And here's a good quote from a mom of one of the Lingerie League's players:
Quote:
About the Lingerie Football League
http://www.blackbookmag.com/article/...l-league/15925

“It’s sad, but this is one of very few opportunities girls get,” said Connie van der Slik, mom to Chicago Bliss’ wide receiver Tricia. “These girls are super athletic, and to play hard, unfortunately sometimes they have to navigate these type of situations.”

The players, largely serious athletes who moonlight as fitness models, execute plays that contain words like “unicorn” and “rainbow,” code for blocking and curling, in front of voyeuristic men who watch the players scramble for a first down while hoping for a wardrobe malfunction. On the field, there is trash talking, punch throwing, competitive fire and injuries-- but off the field, the fans care more about exposed body parts than good blocking.
The Lingerie League, not degrading toward women? Ha!

Seriously, this is a ****ing joke if you ask me.
The guy above me knows the truth, that's like in the old days having girls wrestle in mud, which I actually find disgusting.
