Yes that's right, there is actually a football league in the states where women play 7 on 7 full contact football in rather reveling lingerie. They use hockey helmets instead of the larger and heavier football helmets, and as for their shoulder pads, well lets just say they are custom made for this sport. The rules are basically the same as the indoor leagues with a 50 yard field and four downs. There are no field goals just touchdowns. As of this year the LFL announced that it will have 10 franchises across the US, and the season will run from Sept.4, 2009 to Jan.29, 2010. The first LFL game played was in 2004 during the halftime of the Superbowl. It was a pay-per view event and has been an alternative televising tradition ever since. Because of this past success The LFL officially decided to become a league this year and bring the next generation of indoor football to life; although I'm not sure if men specifically watch this sport for their love of football. Whatever the case the LFL has found a niche in the entertainment market that no other sports league can relate to. As long as men will be men, the league's future looks bright.
