Established as a politically-incorrect alternative to the Super Bowl halftime show, it’s clear why the Lingerie Bowl garners a large audience.
While around 100 million sports enthusiasts tuned in for the Super Bowl, the Los Angeles Temptation faced off against the Philadelphia Passion in the provocative final of the Lingerie Football League (LFL) in Las Vegas.
Clad in nothing but helmets, sports bras, panties, garters, and protective gear for shoulders, knees, and elbows, the surgically-spared competitors fought fiercely at the Orleans Arena.
This eye-catching event witnessed the defending champions, the Los Angeles Temptation, maintain their title with an impressive 28-6 victory.
Previously, the event served merely as a pay-per-view substitute for the mundane, politically-correct Super Bowl halftime concert.
However, it has evolved into its own thriving industry, complete with a league that showcases 12 teams playing in front of thousands of fans.
The LFL operates with a two-conference structure.
In the Eastern Conference compete the Baltimore Charm, Cleveland Crush, Orlando Fantasy, Philadelphia Passion, Tampa Breeze, and Toronto Triumph.
The Western Conference is home to the Chicago Bliss, Green Bay Chill, Las Vegas Sin, Los Angeles Temptation, Minnesota Valkyrie, and Seattle Mist.
Ultimately, the 11-player squad that can demonstrate its superiority at the end of the season is honored with the Lingerie Bowl trophy in a climactic matchup between the champions of each conference.
