Sodboy13 Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Say goodbye to Mitch Mortaza's Lingerie Legends Football League, and say hello to Mitch Mortaza's X League. Gone are the bikini tops and team names like "Bliss," "Temptation," and "Sin," replaced with crop tops and names like "Blitz," "Black Storm," and "Thunder." Running cover as "ownership" and "chairman" is Mike Ditka, who presumably is receiving a modest check from Mortaza for his actual job duties of Putting His Face On Shirts and Not Saying The N-Word Out Loud. Providing a bit more cover are vague platitudes about "inclusion" and "empowerment", replacing the previous pitch of "come to the game and maybe see a boob fall out." Each of the eight teams will play two regular season games. From that, somehow, four teams make the playoffs for a doubleheader in Kent, Washington. The Chicago team's home game will be in Rockford. I think it's a safe assumption that players will be compensated in "inclusion, empowerment, and opportunity," as opposed to "money and health insurance," just like the last decade of Mitch's sleaze circuit amateur nonprofit. 2 1 1 Quote On 1/25/2013 at 1:53 PM, 'Atom said: For all the bird de lis haters I think the bird de lis isnt supposed to be a pelican and a fleur de lis I think its just a fleur de lis with a pelicans head.

I'm impressed that he's been able to get so much blood out of this turnip since it started as a Super Bowl halftime gag. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair at one time I think they got up to 16 in the USA, and they had leagues in Australia and China. So it would be a case of seeing if they can turn the spigot back on and get teh same rubes to run back to take a drink. 22 hours ago, EJ_Barlik said: --> Website was down: https://extfl.com/ I think that web site is incorrect, the new one is a .live I believe. The thing is still bare bones too so it's barely better than the NAL. And that league has a team literally playing in a barn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And sex appeals don't always the league itself work. Yeah, it's popular with the "boys" who like to have a feel what it means to pop in the tent but I never shed a tear or made a rant about it when they made switch from padded lingerie to something that resembles an actual uniform.

I prefer actual football to titillation too, but if you can’t be viable with talent, then you’d need to compete in other manners. It’s Business 101 and there isn’t exactly a big market for women’s sports to begin with so the more base appeals make sense if you’re trying an alternative league. In theory. Turns out if dudes want to spank the monkey, they’ll watch porn for 10-20 minutes over spending 3 hours watching inferior football, who could’ve guessed?
