A while back we posted some photos about Lingerie Football. I was excited about the idea when I first heard about it, but not being a 16 year old boy with no Internet the excitement soon faded.

Today it looks like the Lingerie Football League (LFL) is picking up a little. Well, OK, maybe not so much. With only 4 season games per team, and 4 out of the 10 teams making the playoffs, I would have expected a little more enthusiasm and substantially more press. It looks like they will finally get the break they have been looking for:

The Lingerie Football League, where bikini-clad women grapple on the gridiron, is threatening legal action against a group of former players who have complained that the league has reneged on promises to pay the medical bills for women injured during practices and games. In a December 10 letter, a lawyer for the league warned nine ex-players that “evidence gathered” showed that the women had “participated in the posting” of false information online (apparently on Facebook and MySpace pages). The letter, a copy of which you’ll find below, is the latest heavy-handed tactic employed by the struggling 10-team league, which launched about three months ago with the laughable assertion that it was “one of television’s biggest commercial properties.” According to several former players, league founder Mitchell Mortaza and his deputies have repeatedly threatened legal action when players have complained (or simply inquired) about health coverage and wages.

Hmmm, maybe this isn’t exactly the press they wanted, but at least it is some press. Until this, I haven’t heard anything about the LFL.

Personally, I think that they are simply not marketing this product correctly. No real football fanatic will want to watch this, at least not openly, but there are those that will LOVE to watch it (at least for 15 minutes or so) … the 16 year old boys with no Internet. That is your target, fellas, go for it!
