\u201cThere has been no negative feedback so far to having women in lingerie playing football at the Sho-Ware Center.\u201d (Kent Reporter front page lead story March 14, 2009.)<\/p>\n

Let me be the first!! I strongly object to \u201cwomen in lingerie\u201d in ANY public venue. Underwear, by definition, should be worn under your outerwear.<\/p>\n

I love watching football, and would be interested in male or female football games. But be honest.<\/p>\n

The only reason for women to play football in lingerie is to sell the sport with sex. And that\u2019s understood by all when the fans are predominantly males 20-40, per your article.<\/p>\n

C\u2019mon City Council, mayor, Kent business owners – is this the image we want for our city? What\u2019s the point of the upscaling of downtown with Kent Station, if we are going to sponsor sleazy entertainment next door?<\/p>\n

And NO thanks to Kent Reporter for the big underwear picture on the front page – color too – you went all out. I would LOVE to use the newspaper to teach kids at school, but can\u2019t do it with all the lingerie and ED ads.<\/p>\n

You take yourself out of the education picture. How about some NEWS?<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
