Sport Bookie: Lingerie football players bare it all for PETA campaign

Sport bookies can see that when on the field, the girls who play for the Lingerie Football League are no strangers when it comes to competing in scantily clad outfits.

But sport bookies found out that when they stripped down in PETA’s latest anti-fur ad campaign, members of the Toronto Triumph team decided to devote their bodies to tackling something else.

Four of the League’s players bared it all with the field as their backdrop, as they were only covered with a couple of shoulder pads, a football, and a helmet, as seen by bookmakers UK.

Sport bookies saw that in a behind the scenes video released together with the new ad, the players urged people to refuse buying fur.

“When you wear that fur jacket you don’t ever really think about, ‘What happened to this animal for me to be putting this on?’” said one player of the Toronto Triumph in the video.

Not only did the players pose for the ad, but sport bookies learned that they also took part earlier this week in a PETA demonstration that took place at Toronto’s Eaton Center. They showed up in their uniforms with signs reading, “Tackle Cruelty: Bench Fur,” in order to encourage people to not buy fur for the holidays.

“Wearing fur is a personal foul,” PETA Campaigner Emily Lavender said in a statement. “With so many stylish, warm, and durable fabrics available today, there’s no excuse for wearing anyone’s skin.”
PETA wrote on its website:

When people learn that millions of innocent animals are beaten, boiled, hanged, and electrocuted for their fur every year; that each fur coat, each piece of fur lining or fur trim, and each fur cat toy represents the intense suffering of dozens of animals; and that furriers intentionally mislabel the fur of cats and dogs as fur from other species or as faux fur — then every decent human being will want to go fur-free.

Bookmakers UK know that PETA doesn’t stop by simply criticising the fur industry and those that buy he fur, but they also propose solutions. PETA’s cruelty-free clothing guide offers on their website tips on how to look fashionable without any animal getting hurt.

Saudi women trained as sales persons for intimate item stores

Okaz/Saudi Gazette

RIYADH – The Technical and Vocational Training Corporation (TVTC) is offering training courses for Saudi women to prepare them for jobs at lingerie and other shops around the country, said Engineer Ali Al-Ghafees, Governor of the TVTC.
Al-Ghafees made the announcement recently at the graduation ceremony of 336 trainees of the High Institute for Plastic Industries, on behalf of Engineer Adel Faqih, Minister of Labor.
He said the training programs are aimed specifically at ensuring that lingerie shops are staffed by women. The three-month training programs are for various jobs, including cashiers, saleswomen and marketers. There are 40 institutes of technology for girls and women in the country, he said.
Al-Ghafees said that the TVTC would increase the number of strategic partnerships from 20 to 40 during the coming period in all regions of the Kingdom. The partnerships are aimed at providing jobs for Saudi youths at factories and companies.
He said the TVTC was trying to help students overcome difficulties after graduation. He added that he was monitoring the number of dropouts.
He said the Nitaqat Program – the government’s new Saudization drive – has seen a number of companies seeking TVTC graduates in specialties such as electricity, carpentry, plumbing, cooling and air-conditioning. The demand has doubled and there was greater competition in the labor market. He added that the TVTC’s institutes have been inundated with applications for training.
Al-Ghafees said the salaries of Saudi nationals are determined by the labor market. While the Human Resources Development Fund contributes to the salaries, he urged Saudi youths to work hard and be disciplined to realize their goals.
Al-Ghafees said the TVTC is working increasingly with the private sector. He said private companies in the plastics industry are keen to employ TVTC trainees. A total of 500 trainees have been employed at 60 big plastics companies in the Kingdom.
Hisham Al-Quraish, spokesman of the companies employing graduates, said factory managers have a high regard for the TVTC’s quality education. __
