re: Legends Football League

I like to think we can accurately gauge the level of bullshit in a J9 post based on how many emoticons it contains.

Wouldn't you agree this community includes people that don't post?

No.

No I would not.

This topic has over 984 views, mew!! People that visit here obviously care even though they might not post, mew. I'm sure the community as a whole counts the people that might not even be registered but still visit these boards for entertainment, information and other things. Wouldn't you agree this community includes people that don't post? I'm sure their opinions and interests count too. If it weren't for this topic, they might not even have been aware of the latest news, mew. As for the exploitation argument, you might as well mention things like how UPS exploits people's spines to move boxes. Exploitation is everywhere but that's just how industries work. Would there even be industries without exploitation (using people for profit)? Looking on both viewpoints, the athletes benefit as much as the league does, they enjoy it more than anyone! So it's really not a one-sided business, mew.

Honestly, why do you insist on updating us about things none of us care about and many of us are actively hostile to? Naive ignorance was already a weak excuse for starting the thread knowing how your women's MMA thread went, but by the time you were updating the thread the second and third time "for those interested" (again, name a single person) you really should have known better.

It's hard to see this as anything but trolling for hate posts.

J9, I'm going to be constructive here.

I think your posting style, which largely consists of "Shit none of us care about," is best suited to Facebook or Twitter. It goes right along with "Yet another picture of my cat," worthless personal anecdotes, the "awesome vacation you're not having" photos and "inspirational" posts that I tend to find there. I encourage you to make an account with these social networks, find people who might actually come close to caring but really don't and hype each up over games you'll never play and entertainment programming you don't actually watch.

Oh mew this is like arguing with conservatives.

Anyway, here is the new game for those interested, mew.

I don't think you know what that word means.

Then again I don't think you know what words mean in general.

There is no such thing as bad publicity.

Can people just stop giving this horrible excuse for a sport publicity and let the thread die?

That looks like the cover to a porn video.

LFL is not about objectifying bodies, it's about getting LFL's women's football level acceptance, success and popularity as high as it can go, nationally and globally (which it is already successfully doing). If anyone objectifies women, it isn't the LFL, it's the men in the world that do not see women as equals. If they would only watch women's football if they dress like they do in the LFL, then it's a win/win/win/win situation for athletes, pervs, sports fans, and the league's expansion. Here is BC Angels vs. Saskatoon Sirens!! Amazing results!!!!

PS > Also good to keep in mind that ALL Televised sports are a show.

The difference is that there's real skill displayed, and that's the focal point of the show. LFL is about objectifying women's bodies - which is something even Olympic athletes can't escape.

If it was about the sport itself people would be outside playing themselves instead of watching others play.

I don't know about you but I'm not a professional or olympic athlete. Nothing I do in the field is going to compare to what the pros can pull off - and if you do play the sport, then you stand to benefit from watching people that are better than you.

re: Legends Football League

Whether it's sexist or not depends on how they are portraying the women playing the game.

No.

Sexism, when it comes to clothing, is when anyone - man or woman - tells a woman what she should wear. People running the league are telling these women how to present themselves, therefore, its sexism. Its really just that simple.

Allow me to clarify - Radical feminists are often sexist toward younger modern feminists. Today's feminists are told by these fossils that wearing bras, using make-up and dressing sexy hinders the cause of women's rights. You know, because burning bras, not using make-up and dressing like men were the things that got women more rights and better treatment in the workplace. Or maybe it was just remaining undaunted by failure and that they kept pressing forward with those issues until changes had to be made in the workplace and elsewhere.

Yeah, I think it was actually that persistence thing that was more effective. So telling a woman that wants to use lipstick that she's not a feminist for doing so would be incredibly sexist. Sexism in presentation is all about telling other people how they "should" present themselves.
