I am shocked that the city of Kent is allowing this sort of graphic retarded man candy to go on, let alone on Sept. 11th, a day that we should be remembering our country and the people who died. Instead men (and some women) will be watching this “football” match hoping to see a breast popping out or a slip of the tiny panty.
What a shock to open the Kent Reporter last Saturday morning to read (and see!) that the “Lingerie League comes to Kent.” Is that what taxpayers bargained for when they agreed (through their elected officials) to fund this center? Is there a Citizens Advisory board that has input into which programs are brought to this city-funded venue?
Dear Reporter, it was so good to see lingerie-clad female football players on the front page of the Reporter and know that the fields where families once watched boys and girls play soccer outdoors for exercise, fun and teamwork are now the ShoWare Center where families can sit indoors and watch scantily clad women play football.
“There has been no negative feedback so far to having women in lingerie playing football at the Sho-Ware Center.” (Kent Reporter front page lead story March 14, 2009.)
