So Lennart Johannsson, the UEFA chairman, wants footballing women to look more female. They should wear make-up and shorter and tighter shorts. Blatter, the FIFA chairman agrees with him. I'm not always happy with Blatter's ideas but this time the 2 gentlemen have hit the nail on the head. Sex sells. The Volleyball Association realised thet earlier and introduced tighter and shorter clothing, not to mention beach volleyball. Female tennis players have realised it a long time back. You don't have to be a top player to become a millionaire. Just dress sexy and Playboy and other magazines will come to you.
I'm looking forward to the days when female footballers walk around the field with wet see-through shirts and tight shorts. :devil:

C'mon guys there must be somebody here who thinks women should not be exploited in this way or hates women who use their body rather than skills to get publicity. Or you can just laugh the way I do at the prospect of seeing half nacked women playing soccer. You don't have to know anything about sports. The question is do you have a problem with the faminity of women being used to "sell" an event in which they take part?
