Hold 'em, hold 'em, hit 'im again

I went to a powder puff football game. The lingerie league, as it's officially called. The spectacle started with a good half an hour of women stretching in front of the crowd, almost like a dance routine. They changed out of their short shorts and tank tops for the game though. Uniforms were even more scanty. Essentially bikinis, with the tops accentuating their boobs. They had very little protective gear, only shoulder pads, and the game itself was rough. Not a game of tag football with the family in the back yard..

I was told that these women just want to play the game and this is their only opportunity. They don't get paid and it sounds like the promoter is slime. I have no problem with women playing this "man's" game. It's just sad they have to consent to exploitation to do it.
