As much as it pains me to admit it, the Americans have given the world a number of pretty useful inventions: barcodes; dental floss; auto-pilot; breakfast cereal; anal beads (!?!). The list goes on and on, and we should be thankful. We Brits may have kicked off the industrial revolution but the seppos took it, gave it braces, bleached its teeth, nipped, tucked, squeezed and came up with the production line, rocket fuel and Starbucks.
But the yanks didn't just want to be master of the intellectual world, they wanted to control the sporting world as well. Now, given the good old USofA's fairly limited history they haven't had time to develop a sound four four two formation let alone a solid forward defensive stroke. So they decided the best thing to do was to barstardise some of our greatest sports in order to ensure consistent global dominance. Perhaps the best example is American Football - a sport developed with nothing but revenue in mind. But I'm not going to go into the whole rugby vs Amercian football debate, it's as dull and endless as an American football match itself. But there is one thing that American Football will always have over Rugby and that is the LFL.
What's the LFL? I hear you cry. It is the Lingerie Football League. That's right, the fucking LINGERIE Football League. And it's quite possibly the mother of all inventions to come out of the land of the star spangled banner. Not only are the participants extraordinarily easy on the eye but they are in fact hard as fucking nails.
Visit the website. Watch the footage. And if you're still not converted take a long hard look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself one question. Why in the name of all that is sacred not?
