2. If so, they are shooting for the image of reckless.

It's just sad that women who really want to play football, have to do it in this manner.

8. It's the LFL - started as Lingerie Football League

But they changed the name to Legends Football League.

The concept of the LFL originated from an alternative Super Bowl halftime television special called the Lingerie Bowl, a pay-per-view event broadcast opposite the Super Bowl halftime show.[3] The first three Lingerie Bowls were held annually from 2004 to 2006 and were billed as Lingerie Bowls I, II, and III. From 2007 to 2009, the next three planned Lingerie Bowls (billed as Lingerie Bowls IV, V, and VI) were all cancelled for various reasons. In 2009, LFL chairman Mitch Mortaza expanded the concept from a single annual exhibition game to a ten-team lingerie football league.

Most LFL teams in the United States use the same color scheme as a professional men's football team in the area; most LFL US teams base their color scheme on local NFL teams, although in cities without NFL teams, UFL (Las Vegas, Orlando), and former NFL (Los Angeles) teams' color schemes have been used. In Canada, the teams' colors are based on either CFL teams (Toronto, Regina) or ice hockey teams (BC, Saskatoon). As of 2014, some of the team colors in Australia do not reflect a professional men's team in that city, but rather the traditional colors used by the state representative teams in which they are based. In addition to a couple of teams in the US who have changed their color schemes to be their own and not reflective of the other local teams.[citation needed]

Many of the teams are coached by former NFL players and coaches who are already well known in their respective cities. Many of the players have a background in competitive athletics at the college and semi-pro level, in sports such as track and field, tennis, volleyball, softball, soccer, basketball, and fitness-style bodybuilding. A few also have experience in tackle football from playing in other semi-pro leagues.

On January 10, 2013, the Lingerie Football League announced it would change its name to the Legends Football League (while still retaining the LFL moniker). The league announced that the athletes would wear "performance apparel" instead of lingerie, but the uniforms look very much the same as before.[4] In addition to the new uniforms, redesigned shoulder pads were introduced to provide more protection for players. Other league changes included eliminating images of sexy women from team logos and changing the league tagline from "True Fantasy Football" to "Women of the Gridiron".[2]

9. Do they have the same contracts? Make the same kinda money?

[we can do it]

10. It does. Women are not seen as serious athletes.

12. I think Serena Williams is. But I'm sure the women in this show would use the term "empowering."

[we can do it]

14. Empowering what?

[Bertha Venation]

13. No.

Football in bikinis? I'm guessing that before the series producers came sniffing around, these women played in uniforms that could actually be called clothing.

Again:

Edit: I've just read csziggy's post no. 8, so I stand corrected on my thought about uniforms.

Still:
