Lingerie Football in Atlanta: A ‘Loser-Loser’ Proposition?

Atlanta glut of mega-churches makes it the hub of the Bible Belt.
Conversely, the city’s surplus number of strip clubs qualifies it as the Garter Belt capital of the U.S.
So, is the Lingerie Football League’s plan to launch an Atlanta franchise a stroke of genius, or a sinful lapse of good judgment?
Lingerie Football League founder and Chairman, Mitchell Mortaza, just issued a statement saying: “Atlanta is one of those signature markets that any sports league targets. What primarily drove our decision to come to Atlanta was the incredible interest from the city, host arenas and fans.”
Ironically, Atlanta’s least-dressed squad won’t play its games in the city proper; rather, it will host IFL mash-ups in the north Georgia bastion of moral conservatism, Gwinnett County.
Chiming in with Mortaza’s remarks, Gwinnett Center GM Joseph Dennis uttered: “It is our intetion to offer a diverse range of entertainment options for the community and believe this unique sport is a way to reach a new audience.”
What he means by “diverse” is anyone’s guess. Those within the target market should circle the dates for the only two home games on the calendar: Saturday April 13 and Saturday May 12. The Lingerie League thrives based on pay-per-view fans more comfortable watching in the privacy of their homes.
Women who’ve girded their loins to play in such a league should monitor the LFL web site for news about open try-outs. In the meantime, there’s still the matter of selecting a name for the team.
The league has issued an open call to fans seeking suggestions that are due by Friday, October 19.
Here are examples of franchise tags that are already taken: the San Diego Seduction, the Seattle Mist, the Dallas Desire, the Denver Dream, the Chicago Bliss, the Los Angeles Temptation, and the Orlando Fantasy.

So what should Atlanta’s team be called? The Georgia Gold-Diggers? The Dirty Girlz? The Home-Wreckers?
And what will the winning entrant receive as a prize? Season tickets? Or a lap-dance at half time?
