Count The Ethics Alarms: A Lingerie Football YOUTH League?

Looking forward to the opening of the Lingerie Football Junior League...

The headline: “Lingerie Football League Wants to Start a Youth League.”

All right, maybe it’s not as bad as it sounds. Still, we can watch four-year-olds wearing falsies and “shaking it” in kiddie beauty pageants on “Toddlers and Tiaras.” How far removed from that is a future football league with 13-year-old girls tackling each other in their training bras?

Lingerie Football League founder and chairman Mitchell Mortaza issued this statement on the LFL website:

“Obviously the improvement of our game is directly tied into the development of the future LFL athlete. What excites us at the league is seeing the caliber of athletes improve so vastly each season, now imagine in five years when we start fielding athletes that have trained their entire life for the opportunity to play LFL Football.”

And what does early training to to play lingerie football consist of, I wonder? The more important and troubling question: what does it say about our cultural health that the only route available for young female athletes who enjoy football to practice their sport is to train to eventually play the game while dressed like a Victoria’s Secret model?

  1. 2nd notice to the Behavioral Analysis Unit of the FBI: Check out sponsors, attendees, and when they have a website, the subscribers to the Youth League of the Lingerie Football League.

    Honestly, between “Toddlers & Tiaras,” the Spearhead website, and now this, it is clear that the objectification of females is increasing, not decreasing, thanks in large part to the electronic communication age. Oh femi-nazis, where are you when we really need you?

    Are we to assume that these minor girls actually get permission from parents to participate in this activity? I would suggest these teens take Tai Kwon Do along with playing football in their undies, and get therapy for their parents and themselves. They may live longer if they do.

    The world is going to hell in a handbag, period. Frankly, I still think “Toddlers & Tiaras,” and all children’s beauty pageants, are the sickest thing going. At least the mothers of these kids are. It’s child abuse, pure and simple.

  2. We just need to require the NCAA to institute women’s football. If you want have men’s football, you will have to have women’s football. We can do that through redefining how Title IX is interpreted by the federal government. That would result in girl’s high school teams to build talent, and possibly a women’s pro league. By changing the regulator’s interpretation of a law, we can reshape athletics nationwide without any need for public input, or partisan legislative battles. Democracy is wonderful.

    On a more serious note, I hope that their planned “junior league” does not play in their underwear. It would be possible that their planned farm league is to build talent and would not need to be in underwear (that could be reserved for the superstars), but only in short-shorts and crop tops. OK, that wasn’t a completely serious note after all.

      • “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” I have seen some big women that are pretty athletic, are models and have more personality than some of the women in other athletics. Some women have athletic, slim and trim bodies, but take an awful mug shot.

      • It also depends on your idea of “fat and unattractive”. I’ve seen girls that would be considered “Fat” by most Western standards, but DAAMN they have some eye-catching curves. And this is coming from someone who prefers men!

  3. Just one outrageous assault on children after another, huh? There are obviously “cultural” forces at work across the spectrum resolved to sexualizing children as far as they can. What was done with young women in the 1960’s onward has become old hat. Now it’s children’s turn. Film, television, magazines, internet… and now sports? And what kind of “sport” requires attire that is pointedly intended to make its “athletes” sexually appealing? (Beyond women’s tennis, of course!) But these are underage minors we’re talking about. The intent is blatant and its promoters, sponsors and the parents of any participants should be subjected to every penalty involving the endangerment and sexual exploitation of children. THEN… we should take it to Hollywood, where it started, in a similar manner.
