Following in the footsteps of the Lingerie Football League (LFL), we now have the Bikini Basketball League (motto: "Excellence or Bust").
The league consists of seven teams -- the Chicago Desire, the Orlando Lady Cats, the Miami Spice, the Los Angeles Ice, the Hollywood Hotties and the Atlanta Fleet Angels. Tryouts have already taken place in the different cities, and the league will get underway in the summer of 2013.
"This is a competitive basketball league, so we are definitely looking for girls that can really play," Miami Spice representatives told the Miami New Times. "It is also a bikini league in which the girls will be playing basketball in bikinis, so looking good in a bikini is a must."
Competitive? Maybe. Looking good in a bikini? Most definitely.
Please, no jokes about dribbling all over the court.
And speaking of the Lingerie Football League, I recently came across this bit of news.
The Lingerie Football League revealed that one of the referees used as a replacement ref for the National Football League was actually fired from the LFL...Why? According to Mitch Mortaza, commissioner of the LFL, the fired ref was "hurting overall credibility."
It's a sad day when the LFL is more concerned about its credibility than the NFL.
Don't be too quick to dismiss the LFL as a gimmick. At least one of the players can lower her shoulder and bowl over a would-be tackler.
Here's another action shot that will give you some idea of the gals' desire ... for the game.
The LFL even has its own football cards. (I'm sure that "Heather Furr" is her real name.)
I'll pass up the obvious jokes about tight ends and wide receivers.
But I will say that the LFL gives a whole new meaning to fantasy football...

I have not ever watched this "sport". Could someone who has tell me how many times, on average, someone's top comes off?
It's a legitimate sport. It utilizes a ball, score is kept, and men drink beer while watching it.
As for the players losing their tops:
"There's a flag on the field ... no, wait..."
They were actually start a woman's Ice Hockey league.
They even had the name picked out: "The High beams".
But they couldn't get anyone to produce wool nipple warmers with logos.
Even the Chinese declined.
Toejam - Why would they want nipple warmers?
It's all fun and games until an implant blows out.
