Lingerie football league’s first event … sport or buck’s night?
Lingerie Football League is hailed as the all-new Australian sport and we are supposed to celebrate? It wasn’t sport. It was a meat fest. It had the feel of a giant buck’s night. But it was on a sporting field so apparently that made it sport.
I call on sporting bodies and our Government, to step in to stop this. The game encourages sexist behaviour, it does nothing to promote women in sport on an equal footing with men.

Unfortunately Sex sells. Although you may say its degrading to women, I find it hard to accept because after all its not men playing on the field it’s the women themselves. They are not exactly being forced to play, its a choice. From reading the local news on how some cheerleaders have converted to this sport, they actually had to go through a tryouts! If everyone had the same view then no women would have tried out at all. Besides all that its too little too late, even if the sport does not start here, the brand is out there and is only a youtube video away.
