The LFL has courted controversy in the past with women being fined for wearing too much clothing, but it has become part of the Super Bowl festivities for millions worldwide and is broadcast in over 85 countries.

League founder Mitch Mortaza admits his audience is “mostly beer-drinking college students aged 21 and up”.
