Delicate Flowers’ Don Helmets, Make Naughty in Women’s Football

For Pittsburgh Passion, an indy women’s football league, Garrison Hughes asks us to “celebrate the delicate flower that is woman … as well as the beauty of one delicate flower drilling the other delicate flower into the ground.” Touchdown, BITCH!

Also see variant: “A woman’s hands can heal, teach, inspire and comfort. It can also deliver a wicked head-slap when the ref’s not looking.”

How very “I am woman, hear me roar! — or at least pull a flag once in awhile.” (Kidding. I’m sure women’s football is ultra-rowdy.)

Would’ve been awesome if the talent were actual Pittsburgh Passion players and not just Corbis fodder. Maybe they felt put-off by the soft-focus lens technique.
