Nothing. They're athletic, beautiful, and consenting. If YOU aren't grown up enough to look at the yucky women then dont. What I'm really getting out of this post is that slim and petite women aren't allowed to be proud of their bodies without worrying about getting shit from people like you. Just because they aren't cows doesn't mean they can't be proud of their bodies, and hey if they wanna tackle the fuck out of other women in bikinis for a ball (and money) don't hate.
That isn't the point, woman being forced to wear bikini's is the point

They aren't being forced, they choose this. If you knew anything you'd know that A) it's america, no one can force you to do anything you don't want to. And B) this is BIKINI football. B I K I N I
Not regular football. So obviously when they signed up for this they knew they'd be in *gasp* a bikini. Much like cheerleaders know that they'll be in tiny skirts/shorts meant to show off their bodies. Sorry if you think there is something wrong with that
The other women are not complete cows. They're athletes hun. Different body types suit different sports. You do not normally have a short person playing basketball. And bikini football is not not about the game or empowering women. It is just selling sex and a lot of people find it degrading even if they get paid because bikini football is the only big football program for women.

There are very good womens football programs here(at least were im at anyway) If they don't like it why would they do it? It isnt for money. That's one of those things that you just want to do. Again same with cheerleaders or playboy bunnies. They do it because they're attractive and they want to. Not every woman on the face of the planet hates being idolized for being beautiful. And yes you are very right the other women are strong, beautiful, athletes :) I was aiming that at the ones who hate on women that arent obese. It seems to me that If you don't weigh 250lbs that other women will hate and demean anything you do.
The fact that they're not. I have seen these athletes interviewed and they talk about how they're coerced into wearing skimpy outfits, told to thrust and hired over their looks over their athletic abilities. If you are a better player but a 'worse' looker you won't be hired over someone who is prettier than you. The women also talk about how they constantly ask for better protection because they're getting seriously hurt but quite often just asking results in being fired. These women love playing this sport, but the only way to do it is sell their bodies.
This post is kinda acting like the US doesn't also have women's soccer and rugby which we do (I play women's soccer)

I am against this because I think the women would be less protected from the elements and from the others, but I think the actual clothing is fine AS LONG as they consent to it.
I think this is Legend Football League. It used to be a lingerie league but then serious money started to be made so now it's not. What they're wearing is on par with uniforms for things like volleyball and gymnastics. It's full contact tackle football with much the same padding as other versions, and these ladies are athletes. Nor is this the only women's American football league, there are other less flashy ones that have full uniforms just like their male counterparts. The point of this post is moot since the maker blatantly ignored that those other leagues exist and picked the one with the fashion element. And by the way, the LFL has teams from Canada and Australia too.
Former long-term FIFA president Sepp Blatter actually wants female football players to wear shorter shorts and more revealing outfits. And it's a French "association" (not a corporation at all!) run by a strange Swiss dude.
Womens american football really isnt a thing people. Pretty much every womens sport exists and has fans but really, literally nobody gives a shit about womens american football
What the hell is that? Most American female athletes are bad ass and most uniforms are appropriate to facilitate playing the sport. I don't know what that is, but it does not represent the American Female athlete.

But isnt that like reeeally impractical? Wouldnt they get hurt a lot less if they wore protection or at least bulkier clothes?
