It might not be that well known over here but there are plans afoot to launch a Lingerie Football team in Dublin. Yep, you read that right.
Ireland is sport mad. The fact that thousands of people stood in the pouring rain today just to look at athletes wave at them is a sure sign that Irish people must be contenders for best fans in the world.
News of our love of sport has spread globally and the lads who run Lingerie Football want a slice of the action.
As we’re sure you know, Lingerie Football has been in existence since 2004 and it does exactly what it says on the tin; women in lingerie playing American Football.
As you can see in the below video there are more pads than lingerie on show and as you will also notice, it can get pretty violent.
With 12 teams in the US, a bid for world domination by the mastermind behind the sport, Mitch Mortaza, has begun. A Canadian league will begin next year, as will an Australian league and Europe has been targeted for a 2014 expansion.
Dear old Dublin has been named as one of the locations for teams, alongside Barcelona, Frankfurt, Rhein and Manchester.
Two years is a long time so we won’t be getting any ‘Dublin Dynamos’, or whatever they will be called, t-shirts printed just yet but if and when it does kick -off here, we’re sure we will be able to find someone in the office to go and cover it.

A woman has revealed how she has been wearing a bra since she was three years old, describing the great effect lingerie has had on her as a woman.
Erica Cheung has revealed how her long-standing relationship with lingerie enabled her to celebrate womanhood, instead of trying to hide it.
The Huffington Post style blogger said: ‘I started wearing a training bra when I was three years old, not because I needed one or because I was self-conscious, but because I thought that bras were beautiful’.
Baby bras: Erica Cheung has revealed how she started wearing a training bra when she was three years old because she thought they were beautiful
After Good Morning America featured a segment on teenage shapewear – effectively mini versions of Spanx, undergarments with the sole purpose of masking the body insecurities of adult women – Ms Cheung argued how sad it is that young girls ‘think that they have to adhere to some kind of image of womanhood that is equivalent to perfection’.
She said that wearing bras from such a young age enabled her to view them as a celebration of womanhood, rather than ‘things that bound me to a particular image of what a woman should be’, she said.
‘I started wearing a training bra at age three because I thought that bras were beautiful’
While she believes it’s
natural for girls to aspire to be like their mothers, like the rite of passage
moment when a toddler puts on her mothers heels for the first time, or wants to wear a bra, but she has come out against teens who feel the need to wear shapewear, like their mother’s Spanx.
She said: ‘I remember going to the department store
with my mother and helping her pick out her bras, black ones, lacy
ones, silky ones; they fascinated me.
‘I remember telling her I wanted a bra and picking a sweet baby blue one that was lacy and too big for me. After all, I was only three years old. It was my camisole when I slept and I only really used it when I was five,’ she continued.

But the concept of young girls wanting to copy their mother’s sucked-in waists and thighs with mini versions of her belly-flattening shapewear, ‘to hide their imperfections’, is ‘damaging’ she says.
‘The idea that shapewear is increasingly seen as a necessity for girls is extremely disturbing,’ she added.
The New York University student told MailOnline: ‘I think that today, with all the stereotypes about women that are only intensified by the media, it’s important to remind ourselves of what it means for each one of us individually to be a woman.
‘It just so happens that a part of what I identify with is bra shopping with my mom.’
She added that her mother never forced her to wear a bra; and that she
only put it on when she wanted to.
‘Like other little girls, I
started wearing a real training bra when I was 11 or so,’ she said.
‘I don’t think that being a woman means you have to wear a bra, but I do believe that bras are made for women (all kinds of women) and that’s something to celebrate.’
