Hi, I can understand how you feel about the LFL's marketing tactic.
It really is dumb to position themselves that way, IMO.

I am a big fan of our team here in Tampa- here's why: It IS about football!!! Yes they are cute, yes they dress skimpy (what are those tassels?) BUT they play ball! I am not talking about powderpuff ball - I am talking running hard-hitting plays, playing through injuries (including turf rash due to the skimpy outfits), and dedicating an entire year of training for very little money.

I can't tell you how many extremely skeptical men and women that I have brought to the games- within 5 to 10 minutes of play they have become rabid fans. All I am saying is don't judge the league by that interview and the fact that the girls have to be cute. If you remember, the real life league that "A League of Their Own" was based upon had the same odd requirements and look how hard those girls played.

Just to let you know, Kelly Kobold, one of the top MMA fighters around, was at those tryouts. Not to say she isn't beautiful, but as an athlete she is strong and tough as nails. If they drop the lingerie on field and keep it to off the field, it would be a better fit overall.

Personally I'm not into the league because the sexiness makes me feel the players are more models playing football than football players that happen to be models. There are some great female football players out there that don't look like they could be on a runway which don't get the opportunity to be on national tv. Damn shame.
