Confessions Of Lingerie Footballer, Part II: 'Bra Support'

By Kiera Massette

Just the name “Lingerie Football League” is catchy, isn’t it? Even if the only word most people hear is ‘lingerie,’ I still got your attention. Well, I guess that’s the idea. Ingenious marketing I call it. Who knew it would get such widely mixed reactions?

Season 2 is barely upon us, more expansion teams have been formed, and already the critics and skeptics have started their rants. One Maryland-based newspaper critic calls the League, "... A crass exploitation of women for the amusement of men.” Hmmm ... exploitation? Well, we’re not strippers or porn stars (nothing against either/or ... you go girls, it’s just not for me) and we aren’t exactly playing powder-puff football. But some of the reactions the league, as well as some of us individual players, have gotten hasn’t been all too supportive lately.
