I didn’t know this was a real thing, but apparently, the Lingerie Football League is real. I had seen various advertisements for this before, mostly on TV around the time of the Super Bowl each year, but had no idea that his is a full-fledged league, with actual games, tickets, refs and fans. The LFL, as they call it, is hoping to expand to the new market of Nashville, Tennessee soon, but groups like “Girls Against Porn” have attempted to put a stop to this expansion.
Just reading the names of the LFL teams tells me that this entire “product” is scandalous, in the same vein as strip clubs, prostitution and exploitation of women. Here are a few… San Diego Seduction, Dallas Desire, Los Angeles Temptation, Philadelphia Passion, Orlando Fantasy. This CANNOT be what the next generation of young women and girls thinks is authentically feminine!
Many people automatically ask the question, “what’s so wrong about this?” I ask, “Name one thing that is right about this.” Nothing! The objectification of women happens in so many places and in so many ways, why do women continue to allow it to happen to themselves? Why do men continue to objectify women? Why do we stand idly by and do nothing anything about it?
There’s no virtue in this. There’s no honor, pride or goodness in this. It’s pornography on the football field. Not to mention on the internet, the TV (pay per view) and in magazines.
Tiffany Helfrich, founder and president of Girls Against Porn, has created a petition, in hopes of stopping the LFL from opening its doors in Nashville. Here is what she writes about the petition…
The “Lingerie Football League” has plans to start a Nashville team in the near future, as reported by WSMV Channel 4 news (http://www.wsmv.com/news/26299761/detail.html). The “league” is stating that there is an 85% chance, they will start a Nashville team, in the 2012 season. We are asking mothers, daughters, fathers, concerned citizens of Tennessee, to put a stop to this “league” from entering Tennessee, which contributes to the objectification of women, which leads to rape, porn usage, and the trafficking of girls and women. Please tell Governor Haslam and your state senators that you are appalled that this league could be coming to Nashville, and having women play football in their underwear! As citizens of Tennessee, we must put a stop to this! We need respectable role models for our girls, that teach them that it is the value of their mind that is important, not that they should be gawked at as objects, and we need to send a strong message that the more skin they show, is not what should be desired. If this angers you, as much as it does us, PLEASE, PLEASE help us stop this, and forward to all of your friends and family today!! We need 5,000 signatures in the next two months!
Thank you!
