The Lingerie Football League All Stars game created headlines but players of a new female grid iron competition in Sydney say their sporting fix is a long way from Victoria’s Secret.
The Lingerie Football League (LFL) All Stars game created a lot of headlines but is “completely different” to a new female gridiron competition in Sydney.
The All-Stars game at Sydney Olympic Park last month was criticised from several quarters, including Federal Sports Minister Kate Lundy.
But Gemma Weeks, 26, said the new Ladies Gridiron League was not linked to the league despite some of its players trialling for the LFL last month.
“There was a lot of hype for the lingerie league but we’re completely different,” she said.
“It’s a different uniform and we’re an amateur league.”
Weeks, of Homebush, said she followed gridiron because her husband plays and “fell in love” with it.
“I’ve played sport my whole life and give everything a go once,” she said.
