Those of you who visit our site regularly have read about the Lingerie Football League (LFL). A few NPC/IFBB competitors have been participants of the league and experienced mixed reviews. It appears nine women could face legal action for defamatory online comments towards the league.

From TheSmokingGun.com:

The Lingerie Football League, where bikini-clad women grapple on the gridiron, is threatening legal action against a group of former players who have complained that the league has reneged on promises to pay the medical bills for women injured during practices and games. In a December 10 letter, a lawyer for the league warned nine ex-players that “evidence gathered” showed that the women had “participated in the posting” of false information online (apparently on Facebook and MySpace pages). The letter, a copy of which you’ll find below, is the latest heavy-handed tactic employed by the struggling 10-team league, which launched about three months ago with the laughable assertion that it was “one of television’s biggest commercial properties.” According to several former players, league founder Mitchell Mortaza and his deputies have repeatedly threatened legal action when players have complained (or simply inquired) about health coverage and wages.

The women listed in the legal document:
Theresa Skylar Vanel
Aleina Mackey
Dana Shurr
Randi Dicker
Yanina Beccaria
Heidi Olson Cooper
Melissa Teixeira
Lindsay Gillen
Tricia Montoya

Most of the women appear to be part of the Chicago Bliss team however one woman is a NPC Bikini competitor and was part of the Denver Dream. We’ll see how this story unfolds and hopefully everyone can come to terms over the disagreements. It’s also worth noting on the site how the women were compensated. It’s not your average “professional athlete” compensation contract.
