The Lingerie Football League was looking toward expanding to Oklahoma City.
The key word: Was.
Mayor Mick Cornett told media Thursday that he will not allow a team to play in Oklahoma City. The Lingerie League is made up of 10 teams that feature women playing tackle football in bras, panties and garters.
The LFL said it hoped to have an Oklahoma City franchise ready for the 2011 season, which would begin in August. However, the league did not have an ownership group in place for an OKC franchise.
Cornett told OKBlitz.com Thursday that he would not let an LFL team to play at the Cox Center or Oklahoma City Arena. Both are city-owned venues. The Lingerie League would need city council approval on several fronts before it could play in the downtown arenas.
“There are too many problems to list,” Cornett told the website. “There are so many that I don't want to gravitate to just one.”
Lingerie Football League chairman Mitchell S. Mortaza said Cornett was taking away the freedom of individuals to choose what sporting events to attend.
“Oklahomans should be provided the opportunity to choose for themselves and not dictated to,” Mortaza said in a statement. “I thought our plans were for expansion into Oklahoma City, not North Korea.”
The Lingerie League has teams in major markets such as the Chicago Bliss, Dallas Desire, Los Angeles Temptation, Seattle Mist and San Diego Seduction. MTV broadcasts some games.

These ladies are tough & hard-hitting. ...I was surprised.
—I would suggest that the “power” of the average mayor should be on the order of which way the rolls of t.p. are inserted in the roller rather than what legal business should be allowed in his jurisdiction-—
The mayor must be a homo.
No, seriously, I wonder what the expenses are to the city, if any?
Sounds to me like this is a money-maker for all involved, but maybe not.
“I thought our plans were for expansion into Oklahoma City, not North Korea.”
Great Response.
BUT, It will be a moot point once Michelle Obama gets the Union of Government Sex workers in India to start ‘outsourcing’ to the U.S.
I hear they are going to call them FED-XXX.
Way better than the WBA.
“We solid on fundamentals, which more than make up for lack of dunking.”
I live in OKC, and I’ve begun calling him Mickey Maps the Mayor. All he does is trot out tax increases for public works projects. (MAPS proposals)
He also seems only interested in sports teams coming to the city if it involves a tax increase to pay for facilities.
I’m not saying what the gals looked like with their hats off, but most are in great shape and looked very good in their uniforms.
Well, of course not.
Hmmmm, I’m not going to say much. Some of those highlight reels look better than this years Dallas Cowboy highlight reels.
And they are darn sure more fun to watch!
15 yard penalty for thread abuse!
League Website ...worth checking out.
Personal Foul - 2 Game Suspension!
"Hated it!"
My thought too. Amazing how hard they hit while practically naked. It's gotta really hurt.
I'm sure the main purpose is to titillate, but there is something strangly un-sexy about the whole thing. They look rather ridiculous with shoulder pads over bras.
