As someone who goes to watch live basketball on a regular basis I have my concerns because I usually sit higher up in the stands so maybe I'll be missing some of the magic of the sport. Oh yeah, and do they know how to play basketball? Or are they just hot and they will wing it somehow? | ||

Like, the very name sounds like something I would talk about with my friends. The fact that this is an actual thing is pretty pathetic and, after you mention the porn, useless... | ||

short version (4:17): http://goo.gl/UeWQj long version (1:00:56): http://goo.gl/o4RlF These talks portrait the problems of young people getting to know sex via the media. In this case: hardcore porn. A bikini basketball league - where you probably will not see anything but 90-60-90 women - warps the perception of how women should look like. This is dangerous for girls, who´ll have trouble accepting their own bodies. But it is also dangerous for boys, if they don´t recognize that behind the meat is a real woman, that can actually be loved (and not only jerked on). --> this being only two reasons. If you look deeper into the topic of sexual pathology in youngsters you´ll find more... And yes, I will also need to watch at least a couple of minutes. I just hope no parent will go there with their children... | ||

That doesn't means kids aren't going to end up watching it... My stance is anti-censorship but tbh Jelissei raises a valid point. | ||

That's what I meant by not taking offense. It's about remaining calm and objective. 2) Same with the moneymaking. If someone makes a living dealing crack to elementary school kids, I'd say "that's illegal" or "that's going to fuck those kids up" but not "I think you should rot in hell for doing this" because, again, me expressing anger at him probably won't help solve the problem. 3) As regards domestic violence and stuff, the same thing applies. I can tell a guy "you shouldn't hit/cheat on your wife" but I won't say "You're human trash for beating your wife/cheating on her." Nothing about not getting offended means surrendering one's sense of right or wrong--it means learning to keep your emotions/words spoken and your judgments on other people separate. That's why it leads to rule 4: It's a survival skill. In this world you will have to deal with people who are terrible for one reason or another, and if you simply go around getting pissed because they're terrible, you're going to wind up on the shit end of the stick more often than not. thanks for clarifying that! Your first post on this subject was a bit misleading. | ||

It is a cop out answer thought up by bunch of marketing experts that thought the problem must be it isn't sexy enough. That isn't going to legitimize the sport, teams or players in any way. It just turns them into cheap wank material for kids and pathetic guys. Think you are thinking of beach volleyball. Regular volleyball the teams wear shorts and shirt. At least beach volleybal holds some actual connotation with bikinis... since it is played on the fricking beach... | ||

I don't know a lot about the lingerie football league but my understanding is that a number of the women who play are actually olympic athletes and serious sporting professionals. If they havn't got a problem with playing in their bikinis, and the sport gives them a solid income than what's the problem? Hell, even IN the olympics women's volleyball is played in bikinis, who really cares? it´s a difference how the naked skin is showed. The bikini league is obviously introduced in a sexualized context whereas the olympics is obviously an athletic convention. If you wanna be an athlete you better shape your body. On the other hand: If you wanna have sex, if you wanna be liked by guys (or girls for that matter) do you really need to be slim and have big boobs? Do you really have to show off your skin in order to achieve that? Also: my previous post. Regarding kids: Svetz, you´re right. That´s why I´m posting here ;-) Awareness for bad stuff is a necessary step. I´m not here to shut down the bikini league. I just want to show, how this actually can be bad. And maybe your kid won´t have a problem with her or his sexuality because you once took the time, thought about this issue and can answere to her/his problems adequately. | ||
