This women’s league began as a Super bowl halftime side show but has exploded in popularity and viewership. The LFL features all-female athletes, who wear helmets, shoulder pads, lingerie, and little else. The League’s Mission Statement sets out the image it would like to create for itself: “The Lingerie Football League has become the ultimate fan-driven live sports phenomenon—blending action, impact, and beauty.” 1 To obtain viewers, the league posts advertisements that exploit the sexuality of its players, sometimes having them pose with no clothes on at all.

After all, she spent years of her life exploring the Town of Milwaukee Union Cemetery, tucked away north of Bayshore Mall in Whitefish Bay. She remembered running through the cemetery as a girl "to scare ourselves on Halloween". Years later, as a neighbor and a historian, she began tending the little cemetery and quite literally, uncovering its history. Bird died of emphysema Thursday at the Glendale condominium she called home the last four years. She was 69. "She really died from cigarette smoking" said husband John D. Bird. "That's what did it." She was born Miriam Young in Milwaukee. When she was 4, her parents moved to Whitefish Bay. That was where she grew up and spent her adult life. It was also where she became the undisputed expert on local history, both in the village and the greater North Shore area. In her earlier years Bird had worked as a secretary. She met her husband when their mothers—concerned about their two twenty-something children remaining unmarried—managed to fix them up for a date.
