Hope the link works, never done it before

Ah America 😣its a shame that these woman who are all probably serious athletes have to dress like that just to get recognition of there ability to play this game. Though these are clearly tougher than the men that play it as they seem to need a lot of padding to play it. Bet they don't want to play it in there underwear

Lol that is so weird.
Yes, a publicity stunt to make money out of viewing figures sure, while simultaneously sending the message that women in sport are not to be taken seriously.

Eurgh patriarchy

There is also a normal American Football league for women who don't wish to wear underwear on the pitch.

Pad the shoulders, leave the vital organs in the torso totally exposed. It's bikini armor for sport!

I hate this shit so much.

Wasn't there a football (soccer) official who said if they want more viewers for women's football, women should play in their underwear, or more skimpy clothing?
He was roundly criticised (although didn't lose his job).
Seems in America, it's fair, though.

Oh the poor little things, my heart bleeds. That is infantilising nonsense. There is established womens American football and there is this bunch of idiots who apparently don't even get paid but who rely on endorsements. They have the choice of playing in the normal game or doing this.

There is apparently a UK Lingerie league , promoted by a woman and opposed by the male founder of the Chelsea Ladies team. It seems to have gained no traction at all.

Is there an equivalent male league where they can run around in jock straps and shoulder pads in the name of sport or is just for the women.

Well there's WWF.

Thats wrestling and theres a womens version of that. So i dont think it counts

So they don’t even get paid for this. This is crazy.

I like the photo a lot as a photographer myself I appreciate the technical composition and colours of this photos, what is wrong with it and why are you so mad about it ? It's just a few woman posing for the camera

Oh just the blatent sexism as women running around nearly naked in the name of sport. There is no male equivalent jock strap football league so why is it ok for women?

I do not think that particular effort ever got off the planning board.

Bizarre and embarrassing.
