I think I had too much sugar yesterday, at a friend's 60th birthday party so my aggro levels are running hot.

I'll never have two desserts again.

well it was you who brought up the connection to olympic sports

remember?

and like you i'm not bothered either way. just another example of the hypocritical world we live in

Yes, I was comparing the inequalities of Beach Volleyball. Where the women wear skimpy bikinis and the men wear shorts and singlets.

Sounds familiar? In the NFL the men wear full padding and outfits in the the Lingerie League and the women wear bikinis....

This faux outrage is hilarious, our society is ful of sexism, hell, since companies have started marketing their products they've used sex and the female body, I have no idea why the Lingerie League is suddenly getting people uptight.

If it was last Friday the 13th I could understand it Jarka.

But alas like you I am struggling too.

TV networks have the right to air stupid programming for stupid people.

We don't have to like it but we don't have to watch it either. I wasn't even aware of this Lingerie footy thing until this thread.

Someone must be watching it, they wouldn't make it if it wasn't going to make them money.

I guess it'd be nice to live in a world where this sort of crap isn't economically viable. Until the audience at large grows up, the networks will continue to pander to their baser appetites.

Easier to just avoid commercial TV altogether.

Well actually with these new digital TV channels I think you'll find if that if someone makes a program for free and it will be watched by anyone at all then they'll air it. 7mate may be paying a bit for a broadcast deal to help supplement the costs of production but if they are screening in 10:30 on a Saturday night on mate I think most of the costs will be covered by the league. So in all likelihood the crowd attending the game is supplementing the broadcast on TV which in turn is hoping to draw more to the games.

I presume other sports in particular womens sports would do the same plus would add some government funding to make it all happen +/- be broadcast on the ABC.

Not sure if serious.

Very serious. Women have the right to be upset by the LFL, but I can't see how it's sexist. They aren't playing in those uniforms because men forced them to.

Do you know what's sexist. Men and women tennis players getting paid the same when men offer a far superior product. That's sexism.

Oh for goodness' sake, the fact that some women choose to wear those uniforms, and to be paid for doing so, does not make it any less sexist.

Men's sport, played seriously does not resort to blokes jumping around in jock straps.

Of course it's sexist. The name says it's women running around in underwear jumping on each other.

Funnily enough, I agree with you about women's tennis. Equal pay for two, often whitewash sets, is a gift when you think the blokes so often fight out four, or five long advantage sets.

But the lingerie league - absolute sexist crap. If the sport was any good they'd wear regulation gridiron gear.

It actually was the "Lingerie Football League", but has been changed recently to the "Legends Football League"...

Because apparently that makes it seem less sexist.

Not sure who they're fooling.

Where does it say that?

Maybe you've got it confused with one of your old videos.

Yeah but if womens tennis was any good then Sharapova would wear a decent dress like they did in the 1960's. If Rihanna could sing she'd get up on stage wearing more than whatever she does now, same goes for Miley. None of that might be to your taste but once again I've awfully confused as to how that is sexism.

if JK likes to hang out with crooks and watch the LFL then thats no big deal by me. Just shows his type. As if the tats were not a dead giveaway. I have more of a problem of society becoming the revived version of the consorting squad. I bet JK gets close and personal to those lingerie babes every other day. Others who only whinge get a long distance eyefull at best.

you omitted "left-wing" robbie - LOL

Also, "latte sipping, green voting, wowsers"

My god... 3 pages of crap not related to the thread topic. Must be the off season.

I've awfully confused as to how that is sexism.

Sexism is defined as:

1. Discrimination based on gender, especially discrimination against women.

2. Attitudes, conditions, or behaviors that promote stereotyping of social roles based on gender.
The LLF is an an event that involves women dressed in lingerie (note not sporting attire but clothes that are designed to specifically sexually titillate) performing for the gratification of men (in an event owned and promoted by a man) that promotes the stereotype of women as sexual objects (objectifying women in the process and making a mockery of serious women's sports)
Perhaps you are thinking of definition 1 but surely any right thinking person would concede that such a scenario meets the definition of sexism.
Perhaps you don't think it meets this definition, that's up to you. I won't bother to try and convince you further.
But as Choke notes above this drivel exists because of the demand for it. It seems to be we are going backwards and some of the posts in this thread merely reinforce that view.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
