Lingerie Athleticism

GOD BLESS AMERICA, or "only in america", take your pick. American culture invented football, baseball, and basketball, all of which, like jazz and rock n roll, have achieved popularity in many places other than the united states, and now, we take it a step further.

The culture which brought commercialized sex to the free market now introduces lingerie basketball. Lingerie football has been around for a few years; can lingerie baseball be far behind?

They play in bikinis, and, at least on the football field, they play seriously, and roughly. Women's boxing and wrestling does pretty well as well.

When women were expected to cover everything from wrists to ankles, it was widely brainwashed that ladies were not suited for athletic activity of any sort. Now, in a few more years, when all long distance running records are in the hands of females, (they're getting closer and closer) the 'weaker" sex will have achieved final vindication.

Basketball broke the barrier. It was always obvious that girls are perfectly capable of playing basketball, especially in the era of two handed set shooting  and passing. But of course they couldn't possibly play the exactly the same sport as men, it had to be gentled down.

So they came up with the interesting variation wherein six on a team shared the court, three at one end, and three at the other. Either you played offense or defense, but not both simultaneously, and they traded back and forth. That ended about forty years ago, and the rest, including female collegiate and professional basketball, is, as they say, history.

Three on three game at both ends of the court was really a good idea, for everybody. the court is uncrowded, and on every play nobody is irrelevant. Pay close attention to a regular modern five on five game. game, at any level, and watch the playeres who don't have the ball, or aren't guarding someone who does.

Sometimes, at least briefly, there are people not doing very much, except standing around. Then too, transitioning from one end of the court to another is often a sluggish formality, but not in the half court three on three game. Maybe it should be brought back.
