Lingerie Football League sexed-down ahead of Australian launch

[beige]

LINGERIE-loving fans say if it isn't broke, don't fix it but the 'bra and panties league' is trying to sex-down before its Australian launch.

The frills, bows, garters and chokers have been banished ahead of the Lingerie Football League's debut Down Under in a bid to attract better broadcasters, sophisticated sponsors and credibility.

But fans and players are bummed the risqué uniforms are being shunned for something a beach volleyball player might wear as the sport rebrands to Legends Football League.

The new uniforms - while still skimpy - will be streamlined in an effort to shift the focus from the babes to their ball-skills.

Fans have mocked the changes, saying that if the LFL was serious about sport it would cover its players up completely.

Meanwhile commentators in the US say this spells the end for the sport's franchise, claiming most people went to see the outfits rather than the actual game.

It is the only form of the game that I find entertaining

Credibility? They call it the Lingerie Football League and they want credibility for their ball skills?

Lame

Don't like it, don't watch it

[Alison]

I've watched it once - never again. I prefer big beefy men (you'll be surprised to know!)

They call it the Lingerie Football League

Not any more!

I think a couple of people have misunderstood what I was implying

How about I go with the game aint broke so there is no need to change anything to do with it

[eleypinkbit]

I think it's a great game to watch. Can't say that I perve at the girls but I am in awe of their ball skills. I think it's really entertaining.
If the picture of the uniform in that article is what it's changing to, not like they're exactly covering up any more than previously!

The uniform looks similar to what they wore on Gladiators.

A show I only watched for the athletic ability of the combatents.
