So There Was a Bench-Clearing Brawl at a Lingerie Football League Game

That's unsportsmanlike conduct — but we'll allow it

In the world of sports, 99.9% of the time, there are winners and there are losers.

We’d like to introduce you to the 00.1%, aka a Lingerie Football League bench-clearing brawl.

The aforementioned bench-clearing melee erupted during a playoff game between the Dallas Desire and the Seattle Mist after Desire player Victoria Thomas dragged Mist player Bryn Renda a few hashmarks by her hair.

The teams then went at it for nearly two minutes until they were separated. Thomas would get the boot. Seattle emerged from the game on the winning end of a 44-6 score and went on to celebrate their win by slugging beers as their vanquished opponents watched from afar.

And no, there were no uniform malfunctions on either side.
