Move over Notre Dame and get ready Dublin, the Lingerie Football League is coming your way.
The Daily Edge reports that the Lingerie Football League (LFL), a uniquely American invention by millionaire Mitch Mortaza, is set to branch out into Europe in 2014. Cities that will welcome the LFL include Dublin, Barcelona, Frankfurt, Rhein, and Manchester.
The justification for the European league is that the LFL “has prospered beyond the US borders consistently picking up new international broadcasters and vast audiences.”
The LFL first began when Mortaza dreamt up the event that would run as a pay-per-view offering during halftime of the Super Bowl in 2003. It spawned a league in 2009, and has apparently grown ever since.
Lingerie Football is played by two opposing teams of seven women for two 17-minute halves. The women are decked out, or lack thereof, in lingerie, shoulder pads, knee pads and clear plastic visors in lieu of helmets.
Currently, matches are aired in the US on MTV2. The American league is divided into two conferences, Eastern and Western, and consists of twelve teams.
The forthcoming European LFL teams will play each other, with the champion being named during the Lingerie Football League World Bowl. No word yet on where in Dublin LFL matches would take place.
Here’s a promo from the 2012 Lingerie Football Bowl in February:

Ahhhh! Hmmm! Uhhh! Grrr! Oooo! Nothing like physically well developed breast plated Amaxons battling it out amongst each other to stir the juices of every heterosexual man's loins, all the while erotically fantasising that he was being captured by such a tribe of armour clad vixens as a sexual plaything. (Anyway, enough about myself. That's between me and my psychoanalyst!) What will our new Papal Nuncio, US Monsigneur James Brown, think of this spill over of decadence to the Island of Saints and Scholars(?) And what would Dev have though of such distinctly [un]comely maidens [grappling] at the crossroads. I blame [Caití] Tayor for coming down from the [Bray Head] mountains. Eeee!

I like this! Like beach volleyball, I can appreciate the girls' athleticism, as well as admire their assets! I do hope that nobody gets hurt, as this is a contact sport, and their protective equipment is limited. More guys should join in by appreciating this; enough of feminism & "political correctness", already!!

Are these gals going to be playing in Dublin in the winter? Or even in the summer--same difference, when you're talking about Ireland. They might want to bring their woolly underwear. It's a long way from beach volleyball in San Diego. Still, flag me for an illegal contact penalty.

Shocking, utterly disgraceful. When is it on?. Can I book a ticket?.

After beach volleyball at the Olympics, it was only a matter of time. It would be interesting to know the fan base, what they will have for cheerleaders, and what the halftime show would involve. I'm sure the womwn are very talented (not necessarily athletically) The coaching staff is also worth thinking about !
