SPORTS | POSTED BY JADEROSE, 08 MAR 2012


Ladies look away now if you are loud and proud feminists.

For those who have never dreamed that women and football would ever mix, your prayers are about to be answered courtesy of our friends in the US. This June the global phenomenon that is Lingerie Football League (LFL) is coming to Australia. Yep, you heard correctly: scantily clad women playing contact sport, all for your amusement.

From what Business Week has named 'the fastest growing league in the US' (surprise!), a team of 32 of the best sportswomen will play a modified version of NFL football. The east and west coasts will do battle while wearing next to nothing, in the first month of the Australian winter. Seems fair.

Since its establishment in the US in 2009, when Lingerie Football premiered to sell-out crowds and millions of primetime TV viewers, the league has gone on to host 'the ultimate showdown' - the Lingerie Bowl (where we're sure there is no bigger 'frill' than taking home the coveted trophy).

When the 2012 LFL All-Fantasy Game Tour comes to Australia in a few months time, we are told to not let the uniforms - or lack thereof - deceive us, as these women know how to play ball and hit 'just as hard as the guys'. Oh, how far the equality fight has come. The entire tour is being launched in a bid to push an Australian competition by 2013, with teams to be set up in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Adelaide.

Dudes, if you're still breathing we suggest you jump onto lflinaustralia.com for more info. If it's your thang, tickets go on sale in April. Venues and cities to be announced at a later date.
