no, there is not a female league of american football here. The only female leagues that I am aware of are the WNBA (basketball). There may be a professional softball league but i dont think either gets much attention.

There used t be I think. There was a team from MN that was all female, but I'm not sure if they played in a men's league, or if it was all womens.

I did find this bit of info: http://www.lflus.com/ is a lingerie Football League! :cheer: I'm already a fan!!

From Wikipedia:

The Women's Professional Football League (WPFL) is the original and longest operating women's professional American football league in the United States. Now with teams across the United States, the WPFL had its first game in 1999 with just two original teams: the Lake Michigan Minx and the Minnesota Vixens. Fifteen teams nationwide competed for the championship in 2006.

The league has been recognized in national media campaigns, in the book Atta Girl, and even had a team (the New England Storm) that has a commercial relationship with an NFL team, the 2004 Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots.

Unlike the other women's American football franchises, the WPFL operates as a fall league and not a spring league.

Re-reading the first paragraph, I realized people who write for Wikipedia really need to learn how to use the English language and how to use punctuation. :roll:

I think the closest thing to a womans football team in the U S is the 2008 Detroit Lions.
