American Women's Soccer League Admits It Contacted Playboy About Pictorial Promotion

Playboy.com polls have arousing the interest and the ire of media outlets since the 'Babes of the WNBA' ballot surface three years ago.

But no poll had ever recieved publicity before it appeared.

Until the 'Sexiest Soccer Player poll', that is.

Sports Illustrated, The Atlanta Journal Constitution, San Francsico Chronicle, Chicago Sun Times and Fox's 'The Best Darn Sports Show Period' all checked in to find about the latest babe-a-thon before the poll was posted on the site.

The media swarm was based partly on the Women's United States Soccer Association admitting it had contacted Playboy.com about doing such a contest-the first time a sports league had contacted the magazine to run the oft-criticized polls.

Any why shouldn't the league market sex appeal?

Actors can be sexy, musicians can be sexy, so why shouldn't athlets flaunt their sex appeal.

I voted for Heather myself..

"'Babes of the WNBA'"

Shouldn't that be Bull-Necked Babes of the NBA?

I can think of a few WNBA ladies that might make the cut..

I can think of a few WNBA ladies that might make the cut..

Are you kidding me? They are all hideous beasts.

This will do wonders for the "Prop 9" special on ESPN2 this weekend where brainwashed women and the liberals who brainwashed them give all the credit to government for their successes.

Sorry, but Playboy wants "beautiful women" featured in their magazine, not "grunting sweaty jocks".

ESPN is run by leftist commies, I am so sick of their agenda.

I only watch FOX Sports

Could be a last ditch grab for support for the league..

Are you kidding me? They are all hideous beasts.

Any the fans are even uglier. Thick necked bull-dykes every last one of 'em.

The soccer babes are hot..better than the WNBA players!

[Hemingway's Ghost]

"That chick's a man, baby."

[Sabertooth]

Didn't hear about this and I couldn't care less.

Soccer is so boring and unimportant, even the nekkid wonen's team is a yawn.

[codebreaker]

Brandi?

[codebreaker]

I think the Soccer league is on PAX-TV hard to get it in a lot of areas.

[68 grunt]

Man, that woman is fit!
