Attention ladies everywhere! Dennis Rodman will be holding tryouts for a topless women’s basketball team that he himself will coach. Is it offensive? Charitable? Funny? Whatever it is, it’s not a joke. Topless Basketball is actually happening. The idea started out as a classic story of rivalry: Rodman overheard that another strip club, Rick’s Cabaret, ...

Whether women should box in skirts at the 2012 Olympics is being discussed. Officials think it would be good to help the women stand out from their male counterparts. But why is this necessary? Women’s boxing is being included as an Olympic sport eligible for a medal for the first time at the Olympics in ...

Sportswomen have never been paid, respected or supported enough. And it doesn’t appear to be getting any better. Joining the grossly popular Lingerie Football League comes the Lingerie Basketball League, in which (yep, you guessed it) sportswomen compete in their underwear. When it comes to prostitutes, strippers, or any other women who use their sexuality as ...

For athletic women, breaking down barriers in sports should itself be an Olympic sport. In the 2010 Vancouver Winter Games, women were shut out of ski jumping due to, according to the International Olympic Committee, lack of “elite competition.” Although they must have felt they had a strong case to go all the way to ...

The first openly transman is now playing for NCAA women’s basketball. Kye Allums has luckily received a lot of support from his team and coach who says, “I love you and I’ll always be here for you.” I think this is brilliant. There is a lot of transphobia out there but it looks like Kye’s ...

If you didn’t think the owners of the Lingerie Football League would get any sleazier, you’d be wrong. They just put two of their best players on probation for wearing their team uniforms during a pre-approved photoshoot, complaining that the women were not naked enough. They were wearing a bra, panties and shoulder pads. Quarterback ...

A weather-beaten eye cast over the media: HatManJim looks at a story in the headlines and as a feminist with a penis (Menimist? Femi-meni-mist? I just believe in women’s rights, I’m not having gender-reassignment. OK?), attempts to map the sexism inherent in the press, without inadvertently saying anything lecherous about breasts.

Caster Semenya, the runner who caused controversy over her gender, has been allowed to keep her gold medal from the World Athletics Championships in Berlin. Her gender is still not ’decided’, but this shows she finally has some conclusion and hopefully can get on with being a normal 18-year-old girl. Results from her gender test will be ...

Are you ready for some football? Then this probably isn’t for you. The new Lingerie Football League (LFL) is off and running, taking bras and talent with it. There are ten teams who compete to go on to play in the Lingerie Bowl VII on February. Who will take it? Will it be Dallas Desire? ...
