The following video carries a loose “viewer discretion advised” tag because I’m not sure where to draw the line, and there is a pretty flagrant use of the f-word and at least 20 confused women standing around in their underwear. At the same time, I’m pretty sure those are the only two things that happen during a Lingerie Football Game.

Anyway, during the Lingerie Football All-Star Game in Mexico City, Western Conference coach Tony Nguyen got into it with Eastern Conference coach Chandler Brown for something that happened on the field before a kick went out of bounds. They squared off mid-field, and here we are, watching two grown men come to blows over what happened in Mexico when one group of underwear ladies did something uncool to the other.

Video is below.

We’ve written about the Lingerie Football League a lot on With Leather lately, from their condescending video titles on YouTube to their 4Chan-friendly plans for pee-wee lingerie football, but the latest bit of news from the worldwide leader in mic’d panty shields may be the worst of all — Lingerie Football is offering one “lucky” fan a chance to hit their favorite LFL player during halftime at the Lingerie Bowl IX.

Yes, there’s a Lingerie Bowl. Yes, there have been nine of them.

Maybe it’s just that kindness and sexual decency have put me in a position where I can touch a woman for a few seconds without having to win a contest, but what the hell is the selling point to being allowed to tackle a female Underwear Football player, and when did professional sports become the V.I.P. room at Pandora’s Men’s Club? Has there even been a more rapey sweepstakes prize? Do people watch Lingerie Football in the hopes that they might one day hurt their favorite player? I guess that makes sense. “Oh man, she’s wearing garters, and I get to sprint into her stomach with my shoulder and lie on top of her for a few seconds before security drags me away and shuffles me off to the Bellagio with a f**king VISA gift card.”

Somebody win this contest and refuse it. I think the team that wins the Lingerie Bowl should win the right to play their next season in pants.

That doesn’t sound right.

During last week’s underwear confrontation between the Tampa Bay Breeze and the Cleveland Crush, Tampa Bay’s Julie Rolfe and got into a fight with Cleveland’s Tamar Fennell. I don’t follow the league closely and only infrequently update my LFL fantasy team (“Women Aren’t People”, Yahoo! champs two years running) but it played out a lot closer to a hockey fight than the goofy hair-pulling, pillow-fighting tiff suggested by the “Kicking And Scratching” part of the video title. Not sure why a league built on sensationalism would think a fistfight needed the “naughty” element, but whatever, I’m not the troglodyte-browed creep in charge.

Also funny is the announcers, who play the “penalize them and let them keep playing” card without ever coming out and saying how badly they’ll miss staring at those particular lady-asses.

Between the clandestine e-mails of intent and plans for a youth-oriented lingerie farm system, I’m started to get worried about where this is all going. When you started I thought you were going to be like the Bud Bowl. Now you’re like the strip club downtown where I feel like everybody’s getting abused.

Can’t someone of relative import step in and spraypaint “that’s enough, Lingerie Football League” on the wall?

[h/t Guyism]

There’s no delicate way to phrase this. The Lingerie Football League, wherein women play 7-on-7 tackle American football wearing helmets and their underwear for male fans not satisfied with the physicality of pre-existing cheerleaders, has decided that lingerie football is empowering to women and are looking to start a version of the league for children. “Fully clothed, of course!” says the report, and the statement issued by founder and chairman (and man, and possible GEICO Caveman) Mitchell Mortaza is even less reassuring.

“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.”

Yes. Imagine. Then, imagine how exciting it would be if they could play football without their vagina hanging out.

I have it on good authority that this is how they roll in Dade County. When the Tampa Breeze and Miami Caliente square off, you can throw the records, bras and panties out the window, but keep the paternity suits, comments about being “just dancers because we don’t strip all the way,” fake tanning, real tanning, cardio, hot yoga, pilates, and maybe some silicone implants in there as well. And yet the NFL forced us to watch the Niners in primetime earlier this month.

But yeah…fight. It’s quite awesome, but we’re not responsible if you incur an epileptic seizure. Just lie back aind enjoy it on the next page, because this would never happen in women’s college basketball. Not that I would know.

The ladies of the Lingerie Football League were in Vegas on Wednesday to promote Lingerie Bowl 8 on…actually, I missed that part of it, but I’m at a loss as to how this “league” stays in business. If you’ve seen one aspiring starlet get depants’d while running a power sweep, you’ve seen them all.

Also, where does “lingerie football player” fall on the sliding scale of lady-ness? If “crack-addled prostitute” is on the bottom and “Hillary Clinton/Mother Theresa lovechild” is on the top (just go with it), where would we slot a young twentysomething that plays on the gridiron in her bra and panties?

But really, the fact that this is still around amazes me. What do they expect me to do–masturbate to football players? No thank you. I haven’t done that since John Elway retired. Img via Socialite Life.
