TIBB's RED DEVIL!!!
|
A women's football team in Russia will play their next match in bikinis in an attempt to draw more fans.
WFC Rossiyanka, based in Krasnoarmeysk near Moscow, has struggled with deteriorating ticket sales despite club success. Its members now hope that competing half-naked will resolve the crisis, The Sun reports. The club has won the Russian women's top-tier football league three times in 2005, 2006 and 2010 and played in the women's UEFA Champions League in the past two seasons. Team coach Tatyana Egorova explained: "We are the best woman's team in Russia and have won many championships, even representing our country in the UEFA Champions League. "But few people have ever heard of us, and we don't get many people coming to games. So we've decided to give our profile a boost by appearing in bikinis." The players have already posed in bikinis in a photoshoot ahead of the upcoming game and Egorova said that she is optimistic about the publicity stunt. "We hope it will also improve the numbers of tickets we sell," she continued. "We think it's a good idea - our players are beautiful, great athletes and determined to win." Where's my season ticket?

Bikinis are so 20th/21st century. Can I suggest that they follow the traditions of the ancient Greek Olympics and just play naked? Reinstituting that tradition will bump their viewership 10 fold, me thinks.

There are some good womens football teams but this stunt is rather silly.

"A League of Their Own" is one of my favourite movies. That movie kinda deals with issues like this, about sexism in sports. Madonna was awesome in it too.

Nothing like a bit of cheap publicity. If they were that good at their sport, it would be enough. Clearly they are rubbish and no one is interested in anything other than them getting their kit off, quite literally.

Things like this dont help either from a womens world cup game on sunday the ball hits the post so the defender catches it then throws it on the floor next to her keeper and the referee waves play on
And now over to our studio for in depth analysis from andy gray and richard keys. Last edited by billy123; 05-07-2011 at 02:48 AM. |
