Lingerie Football League fans tussle in all-out brawl in the stands

And you thought NFL fans can cause a scene.

A group of scrappy spectators stole the show during a Lingerie Football League match-up between the Saskatoon Sirens and Regina Rage in Canada — with a 25-second clip of the indoor football fisticuffs posted to YouTube on Wednesday.

It’s unclear what caused Saturday’s scuffle in the stands, but tensions were flaring as the hometown Sirens had to claw back against the Rage.

Security tried to break up the brawl.

“When we were on commercial break, it got ugly in the stands,” one of the game’s commentators said in the video.

“These two cities hate each other, and it carried over into the crowd,” another commentator said. “It was a nasty fight.”

The footage shows women whacking one another and men’s shirts getting pulled off.

Normally, the action is on the field, where the scantily-clad female players wrestle over the pigskin.

In the end, the Rage rallied to win 26-20, although a rematch is set for Oct. 21.

According to local reports, the brawl was one of two that night. Eleven spectators got ejected, including two people who went streaking and disrupted the game.

“It is a younger, male crowd, it’s a Saturday night, people have a few drinks before they get to the event and they have another couple in the building,” Scott Ford, a spokesman for the Credit Union Centre, where the game was held, told The StarPhoenix newspaper.

The Lingerie Football League’s American franchise was in the spotlight last month, when it was reported that controversial replacement refs used by the NFL were fired by the panty-wearing league because they were “not in line with our expectations.”

In Lingerie wins Juddmonte Spinster

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) – In Lingerie won the Grade 1 Juddmonte Spinster on Sunday at Keeneland to cap a big weekend for leading trainer Todd Pletcher.

Pletcher won two Grade 1 races Saturday at Belmont, with Dreaming of Julia taking the Frizette and Shanghai Bobby the Champagne Stakes. Pletcher’s e Bridgetown also won the Grade 3 Woodford at Keeneland on Saturday.

Ridden by John Velazquez, In Lingerie bided her time along the rail on the backstretch before angling out for running room in the final furlong and powering home to a two-length victory over Mystical Star.

“She had a perfect trip,” said Velazquez, who also rode Dreaming of Julia in the Frizette. “Once I got out at the 16th pole and she was in the clear she responded right away. I’m very proud of her.”

In Lingerie ran 1 1/8 miles in 1:49.42 to become the first 3-year-old to win the Spinster – Keeneland’s premier event on the main track for fillies and mares – since Pletcher’s Panty Raid in 2007.

The $300,000 winner’s share of the $500,000 purse pushed her lifetime bankroll to $712,265 with a record of 4-2-1 in seven starts. The victory earned her an automatic spot in the Breeders’ Cup Ladies’ Classic, set for Nov. 2 at Santa Anita, but Pletcher said he might consider other options for the daughter of Empire Maker who is undefeated in three starts on a synthetic surface.

“I’d say she’s the kind you could look at a couple of different races with,” Pletcher said.

In Lingerie paid $6.80, $3.80 and $3.20. Mystical Star returned $5.60 and $4.60, and Upperline paid $5.20 to show. Aruna, last year’s winner, was sixth.

Balance the Books rallied late to win the Grade 3 $150,000 Bourbon Stakes by a nose over Really Sharp, who was disqualified to sixth for interference in the stretch.

Balance the Books paid $3.80, $2.80 and $2.40. Brown Almighty, elevated to second, returned $4.60 and $3.40, and Sonofasamurai paid $4.40 to show.

Ridden by Julien Leparoux and trained by Chad Brown, Balance the Books ran 1 1/16 miles on the turf in 1:45.15. His second victory in three career starts earned a guaranteed berth in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf at Santa Anita on Nov. 3.

“This horse is getting bigger and stronger, and it’s on to the Breeders’ Cup,” Brown said.
