Lingerie Football League to play in super bowl during half time on February 7, 2010. The Lingerie bowl was founded in 2003, and it was offered as a pay-per-view half time event for the Super Bowl. Women, in lingerie play a football game with their own rules and regulations. Most of the women are athletic and some have played at the college or semi-pro level.
In 2009, the Lingerie football turned into a league of ten teams and they played games on Friday nights, and their Super Bowl is the same day as the 2010 Super Bowl in Miami. The Lingerie Bowl VII game will be played at 8 pm (during half time) on www.iflus.com
The website has been busy all day Sunday, but information about the individual teams with photos can be found at this site as well: LingerieFootball.net
The sport has its critics and many people say it isn’t a real sport, and maybe it isn’t, but it is entertaining.
Natalie Williams, a forward who plays for the Utah Starzz in Salt Lake City said: "I haven't even heard of it (the LFL), but the premise with them saying 'lingerie' makes it obviously exploitation of women," said the former US Olympian. "You don't see people in the WNBA wearing lingerie; it's how they perform that matters," the Deseret News reported.
See the video below for information about the league and video of previous games.
