GTA G-Strings

Who are they? The new female hockey team, of course. What makes them interesting? Well, instead of wearing pounds of pads, they're wearing g-strings and bikini tops. Doesn't that sound exciting, liberating, empowering, and a great investment for advertisers? No, that's porn (and the flu). So why the hell is this okay: "Come for the Underwear, Stay for the Football". I just cant wrap my head around this. I gave it time. I've been following up since the idea was first proposed to have this lingerie football team come to Toronto. I thought it would go away. I thought wrong. Some idiot gave birth to this.

Let's go through this article. First of all, the team name is Toronto Triumphs. Stupid name. Next. They have to play in bras and underwear in order to appeal to the public. So talent means nothing then. What kind of impression are they even making on young women? "Of course you can be successful playing any sport men can; you just cant wear many clothes doing it". Do I think it's sad? I think it's disgusting. I'll tackle any of these women to the floor WITH my clothes on. Yeah, I'm a rebel.

These women aren't even getting paid. Strippers get paid to dance on poles. I'm not calling these women strippers because that would be rude and degrading. They're playing football in their underwear for free. Sandy from "Grease" would not approve. I find it hilarious that they have to sign a contract saying they know that a Janet Jackson mishap may happen in future games. I mean, let's say the seats are empty. One player could be encouraged to pull another player's bra string, and cha-ching, filled seats at the next games.

Okay fine, there are a few advantages. These hardworking players get free gym memberships, tanning, and massages. Looks like we found Toronto's Jersey Shore. Seriously, Canada? First Councillor Doug Ford doesn't even know who Margaret Atwood is and now his daughter, Krista, brought this crap across the border from the States?

My fifteen year old sister is a linebacker on her high school team at Richview Collegiate Institute, the same team the Toronto Triumph's most popular player and team captain, Krista Ford, played for. When I told my sister about the idea when it first hit the news, she had the same comment I am still struggling to figure out myself. "Why? That makes no sense."
