Sadly, The Lingerie Bowl Has Been Canceled Due To… Clothing?

Lordie, it’s like you can’t trust what anyone says anymore. Like the on again-off again Ricky Hatton-Manny Pacquiao fight (which they say is on, but we really don’t know), this year’s Lingerie Bowl was supposed to be out for the count because the owner of the Tampa parking lot they were supposed to play it on got pressured by anti-lingerie groups. But then, a nudist colony—the Caliente Resort—stepped in and said that the scantily clad ladies could play the game on their properties. But then something weird happened… ok, weirder. The Caliente got all huffy because the Lingerie Bowl organizers wanted them to put their clothes on. Wow, things have gotten crazy in this Obama-day world.

“Caliente is a luxury clothing-optional resort,” [Caliente spokeswoman Angye Fox] said. “We ran into conflicts with the Lingerie Football League wanting more areas of our resort restricted to clothing-required than we could accommodate.”

One request, she said, was to require a clothing-mandate for the resort’s only nightclub. That’s something they couldn’t do, she said, because it would violate residents’ and guests’ rights in the clothing-optional community.

“I can tell them where they can’t have clothes on, but I can’t tell them where they must have clothes,” she said.

You know, as much as we would’ve loved to have a lingerie-free Lingerie Bowl, the idea of the old people in the background starkers would’ve had an equalizing effect on us. There’s no titillation happening when people are sucking oxygen on the sidelines, and none of them are the players.
