极限橄榄球联赛、极限足球联赛（英文：Extreme Football League）、X联赛（英文：X League），是美国女子半职业七人制室内美式橄榄球联盟，比赛于春季和夏季在NBA、NFL、NHL和MLS的场馆举行。创建于2009年，名为内衣橄榄球联赛、内衣美式橄榄球联赛（英文：Lingerie Football League，缩写：LFL），2013年改为传奇橄榄球联赛（英文：Legends Football League，缩写：LFL）。[1]
2019年12月13日，联盟宣布将不举办2020赛季[2] 并以目前名称重组，新球队大多位于与 2019 LFL 赛季相同的地点。[3]2021年由于2019冠状病毒病美国疫情该联盟也没有运作。2022年6月持续到9月的赛季由8支球队竞争，最终芝加哥闪电队赢得了重组后联盟的首个冠军。
自2021年起，该联盟由前国家美式橄榄球联盟球员、职业美式橄榄球名人堂入选者迈克·迪特卡拥有[4][5]。莎曼珊·戈登也于2022年5月任命为所有者。[6]

LFL
[编辑]2009–2012
[编辑]该联盟的概念起源于超级碗中场休息电视特别节目“内衣碗”，这是按次付费电视的赛事，与超级碗中场表演相对播出。[7]
In 2009, league chairman Mitch Mortaza expanded the concept from a single annual exhibition game to a ten-team league, branded as the Lingerie Football League, or LFL. The league operated on a similar schedule to the 国家美式橄榄球联盟 (NFL), playing in fall and winter and played most of its games indoors with similar rules to indoor football. Many of the teams were coached by former NFL players and coaches who were already well known in their respective cities. Many of the LFL players had a background in other competitive athletics at the college and semiprofessional level, as well as some experience in tackle football from playing in other semiprofessional leagues.[8]
最初的制服包括护肩、护肘、护膝、功能服和带有透明塑胶护目镜代替面罩的冰球式头盔。内衣足球联盟最初的制服由运动胸罩和内衣组成，这些内衣比保护性的更暴露，还添加了蕾丝、丝带和吊袜带作为装饰。虽然这些制服经常受到媒体的批评，但球员对制服的使用反应通常褒贬不一，比较了其与田径制服或沙滩排球比基尼的覆盖范围的相似性。The initial uniforms consisted of shoulder pads, elbow pads, knee pads, performance wear, and 冰球-style helmets with clear plastic visors in lieu of face masks. The original uniforms of the Lingerie Football League consisted of an athletic 胸罩 and underwear that were more revealing than protective, as well as added lace, ribbons, and garters as decoration. While these uniforms were routinely criticized by media, players' reactions were typically mixed on the use of the uniforms, comparing the similarities in coverage to 田赛和径赛 uniforms or 比基尼泳衣.[8]

三个赛季后，联盟宣布将在加拿大增加一个姊妹联赛，并于2012年8月开始比赛。 After three seasons, the league announced it was adding a companion league in Canada that began play in August 2012. It then pushed back the US season to 2013 on a spring and summer schedule, mirroring other indoor football leagues.[9]
During the hiatus, the league announced it would change its name to the Legends Football League, retaining the LFL initials, on January 10, 2013. The league also announced that the athletes would wear "performance apparel" instead of lingerie, but the uniforms look very much the same as before.[10] In addition to the new uniforms, redesigned shoulder pads were introduced to provide more protection for players. Other league changes included eliminating images of sexy women from team logos and changing the league tagline from "True Fantasy Football" to "Women of the Gridiron".[1] Along with the rebrand of the league in 2013, the league also began changing the uniforms as the originals were too heavy on sex appeal, initially dropping the ribbons and garters. The league designed new ones for the 2014 season closer to more traditional 运动服, resembling uniforms similar to volleyball players, replacing the ribbons with shoelaces on the front of the top and bottom.[10]
The LFL then began looking into a Latin American league with six franchises throughout Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina.[11] On September 16, 2013, the LFL postponed the entire 2013 LFL Canada season until 2014 with plans to merge the US, Canada, and Mexico teams into a single league called LFL North America.[12][13]
The LFL then formed another league in Australia in December 2013 and played one season. LFL Australia's debut season in the beginning of 2014 marked the debut of the new performance wear uniforms. The LFL planned to launch a fourth global league – LFL Europa – in 2015 with teams in 都柏林 (Ireland), 曼彻斯特 (England), 杜塞尔多夫 and 汉堡 (Germany).[14] 巴塞罗那 (Spain) and 美因河畔法兰克福 (Germany) had previously been mentioned as potential franchise cities.[15] With four global leagues, the league announced intentions to compete in a 极限美式橄榄球联赛 in 圣保罗 (巴西) in 2015.[15] By July 2014, the league planned a three leagues: LFL Americas, LFL Europa, and LFL Oceania.[16] On June 10, 2015, the LFL announced that there would be no international play through at least 2017 with sole focus on growing the league in the US, the exception being international exhibition games to introduce prospective countries to the league.[17]
The LFL announced new uniforms with new colors for the 2016 season. Numbers and logos were printed on the uniform as opposed to previously being sewn on. In addition, the league also announced that teams would have a choice of 伪装 (动物学) or black alternates.[18] In 2017, the league also added a long pants uniform in lieu of the regular bikini bottom for the final home games.[19]
On December 13, 2019, the league announced that it would not be producing a 2020 season and would re-evaluate markets in the future.[2] Four days later, the LFL was restructured into the Extreme Football League, which was announced to begin play in April 2020.[20] The league size remained at eight teams, which initially were all in the same markets as the former LFL teams, but under new team identities.[3][21] The Nashville Knights were the only team listed in the X League announcement to not change names, but they were replaced by the Kansas City Force in January 2020.[22] As part of the league restructuring, it began offering ownership stakes to its players and coaches based on the individuals contributions and commitment to the organization, as well as revenue distribution program for merchandise featuring an individual player's likeness.[23][24] The league also said it was to use 70-yard fields in a press release, although this was never implemented. The league implements a new uniform with full pads.[25]
The league's first season was postponed to a scheduled start in June 2020 due to the 2019冠状病毒病疫情.[26] In May, it had been announced that it was postponed again to April 2021.[27] During the hiatus, the league announced Mike Ditka had been named owner and chairman of the league,[28][29] with plans on expanding into 24 US markets.[30] The season was ultimately cancelled on May 18, 2021, pushing the league's relaunch to the summer of 2022 due to the pandemic.[31]
The 2022 season began on June 10 with the Chicago Blitz facing the Kansas City Force.[32] After a nine-week regular season with a total of seven games, four teams advanced to the playoffs, with the Blitz capturing the first X Cup title on September 10 when they defeated the Atlanta Empire.[33]
The league did not announce plans for a 2023 season and later updated their website with plans to announce a 2024 schedule in October 2023.[34][35] This was later updated again to indicate a 2025 schedule, to be announced October 15, 2024[36]
规则
[编辑].jpg)
比赛时，每队有七名球员在场上。球场端区距离50码，宽30码，端区深8码，与其它联赛大致相同。 许多场地的宽度刚刚超过28码，因为比赛通常在经过改建的国家冰球联盟大小的溜冰场（宽85英尺）进行；拆除有机玻璃，填充缓冲板，冰面覆盖着人造草坪。[37][38]
There are no kickoffs, except the option for an on-side kick should the game be close near the end, nor field goals; halves and after scores begin on team's own 15-yard line.[39] Kicking off after every scoring drive was added before the 2013 Pacific Cup, but was removed shortly after the first game of the LFL Australia season. A team must attempt to get a first down on every fourth down, or they risk a turnover. After a 达阵 (美式橄榄球), a team can attempt a one-point conversion from the one-yard line, or a 两分转换 from the three-yard line. Since 2015, teams are given the option to punt if within their own 10 yard line; the ball is placed on the 15 or wherever it went out of bounds if the punt is not returned.[40]
A game consists of four ten-minute quarters and a 12-minute halftime (30-minute halftime in championship). In the event of a tie, an extra 8 minute 骤死赛 period is played; whoever scores first wins the game. If still tied, the game ends as a draw, and counts as tie for both teams in the standings. In postseason games, multiple 10-minute sudden deathovertime periods are played until one team scores, which wins the game and advances to the next round or wins the championship. Teams get two timeouts per half or overtime period.[40]
Reception
[编辑]The league was met with criticism throughout its existence. Critics say the league degrades female athletes through "pernicious objectification".[41] The uniforms received extensive criticism for their revealing nature. In an ESPN article, Sarah Spain, the co-host of espnW, wrote, "After watching these women play, I can honestly say I respect the heck out of them as athletes, but I'll still never respect the Lingerie Football League, no matter what name they give it."[42]
LFL players with experience in 田赛和径赛 competitions noted that the typical LFL uniform is comparable to other uniforms, with Elizabeth Govrick of the Minnesota Valkyrie stating she "ran track and I was wearing, you know, stuff if not close to almost smaller than what I'm wearing out on the football field. You take beach volleyball, you take volleyball, you take other sports where it's pretty much the same thing."[43] Adrian Purnell of the Jacksonville Breeze said that the outfits were only for marketing purposes.[44] Heather Furr, a quarterback for the Chicago Bliss said "I think with little girls watching the game ... if they can see past the uniform and see us as role models, then that's what I want."[42] Abbie Sullivan of the Cleveland Crush stated, "Just because we play in the LFL does not mean we promote promiscuity. We are smart females. We are athletes who take care of our bodies. We are the total package." Similarly, Toledo Crush player Marija Condric stated, "Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Sit down and watch. You'll forget what we are wearing and you will be thinking about how hard that girl got hit on that last play."[45]
Other players are quoted as viewing the uniforms as a necessary evil, with one saying, "Maybe one day, girls won't have to wear lingerie to get people interested [in women's football]."[46] Liz Gorman, a player with the Jacksonville Breeze, stated she would rather wear a conventional uniform: "I mean, I don't like it. You'd rather wear full clothing. I have a bunch of scrapes on me."[47]
The league was accused in its earlier years of fining players for wearing too many clothes, as well as not paying medical bills for injured players.[48] However, the league responded by claiming that fines were given because the equipment worn was in direct conflict with the league's sponsored gear.[49]
The league also prohibited players from commenting on personnel matters, a rule that prompted the vast majority of the Toronto Triumph, including team captain Krista Ford, to quit in protest in October 2011.[50] Originally a professional league with players receiving a cut of net revenue, Mortaza stopped paying his players beginning in the 2011 season and converted the league into an amateur organization; players must also pay for their own health insurance.[51] League founder Mortaza admitted at one point the league was marketed toward "mostly beer-drinking college students aged 21 and up."[52]
安全
[编辑]_(11888877965).jpg)
联盟收到了许多球员关于安全问题的投诉。由于球衣覆盖的皮肤很少，球员更容易受伤。前内衣橄榄球运动员尼基·约翰逊是其一，其中包括因重击而受伤以及需要手术的手腕骨折。[53]

赛季
[编辑]2009–2010
[编辑]Ten teams played in the inaugural 2009–2010 LFL season.[63] The league schedule ran from September 4, 2009, to January 29, 2010, with one game each Friday.[64] Teams played one game each against the other four teams in their conference. The top two teams in each conference advanced to the conference championship games held on February 4, 2010, in Miami, and the conference champions played in Lingerie Bowl VII on February 6, 2010. The Western Conference Los Angeles Temptation defeated the Eastern Conference Chicago Bliss by the score of 27–14.[65]

2010–2011
[编辑]For the 2010–2011 season, the LFL added new franchises in Orlando and Baltimore, while the New York Majesty and Denver Dream suspended operations. The 2011 Lingerie Bowl was held in 拉斯维加斯, on February 6, 2011. The Western Conference champion Los Angeles Temptation defeated Eastern Conference champion Philadelphia Passion, 26–25.[66]
The 2011 All-Fantasy Game was held in 哈密尔顿 (安大略), on July 30, 2011, at 第一安大略中心.[67] Trailing 18–6 in the second half, the Eastern Conference rallied to win, 24–18, over the Western Conference. Anonka Dixon, quarterback for the Orlando Fantasy, was awarded offensive MVP for her 3 touchdown passes and game-winning rushing touchdown, while Liz Gorman, a safety with the Tampa Breeze, was named defensive MVP.[68]
2011–2012
[编辑]The LFL accepted five expansion franchises – the Cleveland Crush, Green Bay Chill, Las Vegas Sin, Minnesota Valkyrie, and Toronto Triumph, while the Dallas Desire, San Diego Seduction, and Miami Caliente suspended operations. The season kicked off on August 26, 2011, and culminated with Lingerie Bowl IX on February 4, 2012. The LFL Eastern and Western Conference championship games were played back-to-back on January 28, 2012, at Citizens Business Bank Arena in 安大略 (加利福尼亚州). For the second straight year, the Los Angeles Temptation won the Western Conference championship while the Philadelphia Passion won the Eastern Conference championship, setting up a rematch in the 2012 Lingerie Bowl of the previous year's championship game. The 2012 Lingerie Bowl was played at Orleans Arena in Las Vegas, in the afternoon prior to the start of 第四十六届超级碗.[69][70] The Los Angeles Temptation won its third consecutive Lingerie Bowl with a 28–6 victory over Philadelphia Passion. The Temptation's Ashley Salerno and Amber Reed were co-MVP's, with Salerno throwing three touchdown passes and Reed scoring two rushing touchdowns.[71]
In 2012, the LFL expanded its annual "All-Fantasy" game into a three-game international series, with one game in 墨西哥 and two games in Australia.[72][73] The Mexico All-Fantasy Game took place on May 5, 2012, at the Palacio de los Deportes in 墨西哥城; the Western Conference defeated the Eastern Conference, 37–7.[74] The second match of the "2012 LFL All-Fantasy Tour" took place in 布里斯班, on June 2, 2012, at the 布里斯本会展中心; the Western Conference again emerged victorious, this time by a 45–36 score.[75] The Western Conference took a 3–0 series sweep with a 31–24 victory in the third and final "All-Fantasy" match in 悉尼, on June 9, 2012, at 悉尼超级巨蛋.[76] 昆士兰州 native and wide receiver for the Los Angeles Temptation Chloe Butler served as the ambassador of LFL Football coming to Australia and captained the Western Conference squad. The LFL then helped found the Ladies Gridiron League in Australia to serve as a minor league for the announced LFL Australia expansion.[77]
2012 加拿大
[编辑]For the 2011–12 LFL United States season, the All-Fantasy Game was played in 哈密尔顿 (安大略). This was due in part to the league's announcement that in 2012 there would be a Canadian Lingerie Football League. LFL Canada was originally scheduled for a twelve-week season with teams in six markets.[78]
On September 28, 2011, it was announced that, in addition to the Toronto Triumph who began play in LFL United States, LFL Canada's other five markets would consist of 温哥华, 卡尔加里, 埃德蒙顿, 魁北克市, and 蒙特利尔; ironically, none of those five markets would actually get an LFL franchise.[79] On February 9, 2012, the LFL announced that 亚布斯佛, would be the next Canadian city to host a team in the League.[80] The franchise played its home games at the Abbotsford Entertainment & Sports Centre and competed in the Western Division of LFL Canada. On February 20, 2012, the LFL announced that the franchise would be named the BC Angels following the results of an online fan vote.[81] The decision for Abbotsford to host a team sparked some controversy, including expressed concern from at least one city councilor, as "Abbotsford is a deeply religious agricultural community."[82]
On February 22, 2012, the LFL announced that 里贾纳, would be the next Canadian city to host a team in the League. Home games would be played at the Brandt Centre.[83] On March 6, the LFL announced that the franchise would be named the Regina Rage after an online fan vote.[84]
Six days later, on February 28, the LFL announced that 萨斯卡通, Saskatchewan, would join Regina as LFL Canada's second team in the Wheat Province. Home games would be played at the Credit Union Centre.[85] Upon releasing the Saskatoon Sirens' logo and colors, the league announced that LFL Canada was set at four teams for the 2012 season, with the league playing an eight-game schedule, scheduled to end with Lingerie Bowl I Canada the week before the Grey Cup.[86]
The 2012 LFL Canada season began on August 25, 2012, and culminated with Lingerie Bowl Canada I on November 17, 2012, between the Saskatoon Sirens and the BC Angels at the Abbotsford Entertainment & Sports Centre in 亚布斯佛. The BC Angels won the inaugural championship game 25–12 with BC Angels' quarterback Mary Anne Hanson and receiver Aleesa Garcia named as the game's MVPs.[87]
On December 15, 2012, the first annual Pacific Cup was played between the Seattle Mist of LFL US and the BC Angels of LFL Canada. Dubbed the 'Border War', the game was hosted by the Seattle Mist at the ShoWare Center in 肯特 (华盛顿州), with home venues alternating each season.[88]
2013
[编辑]
The league delayed the next LFL US season from fall/winter 2012 to April 2013 in order to shift to a spring/summer schedule and to focus on the 2012 LFL Canada season.[89]
On June 27, 2013, the 2013 LFL Canada schedule was released. LFL Canada accepted one proposed expansion team, the Calgary Fillies; their home games would be played at the Stampede Corral.[90] Meanwhile, the Toronto Triumph suspended operations for the 2013 season, bringing the number of LFL Canada teams back to four.[91] On September 16, 2013, the LFL then postponed the entire 2013 LFL Canada season until 2014.[13]
However, the BC Angels were expected to participate in the second-annual Pacific Cup, an exhibition game between the Angels and LFL US's Seattle Mist scheduled for December 2013.[92] On October 3, it was announced that the Angels would be replaced in the game by the LA Temptation, citing not enough preparation. The Pacific Cup was played at ShoWare Center on December 6, 2013.[93] Several key players from the Angels joined the Mist while a few key players from Las Vegas Sin joined the Temptation.[94]
2013–14 澳洲
[编辑]_(11368330433)_(2).jpg)
Following the two All-Fantasy games held in Australia in 2012, LFL Australia premiered in December 2013. Prior to the playing a game, the LFL's deal with the Ladies Gridiron League (LGL) fell through and the LGL no longer served as a minor league to the LFL. The New South Wales Surge, Queensland Brigade, Victoria Maidens, and Western Australia Angels participated in the inaugural 2013–14 LFL Australia season.[95] The LFL Australia Legends Cup was played on February 8, 2014, at 伯斯矩形体育场 in Perth, Western Australia.[96]
On March 23, 2014, LFL Australia accepted one proposed expansion team, the Adelaide Arsenal, with home games to be played at the 轩特马殊球场.[97] However, on September 29, the 2014–2015 season was cancelled due to the lack of a broadcast partner with competition planned to resume in 2015–2016 including an expansion into New Zealand.[98][99]
In February 2015, it was revealed that the players and coaches had actually left after disputes and issues with LFL management, namely commissioner Mortaza. Players and coaches left and joined the Ladies Gridiron League, originally a subsidiary of the LFL now operating as its own league.[100]
2014
[编辑]In the 2013 offseason, the LFL announced that the Philadelphia Passion and Minnesota Valkyrie had suspended operations for the 2014 LFL US season.[101]
It was also announced that the Cleveland Crush were moving to 托莱多 (俄亥俄州), and play its home games at the Huntington Center.[102]
2015
[编辑]2016
[编辑]On September 16, 2015, 奥斯汀, received an expansion team for 2016 to play at the Cedar Park Center and the name was announced as the Austin Acoustic. On November 2, it was announced that 达拉斯, would rejoin the league in 2016 after being on hiatus since the end of the 2010–2011 season, retaining the Dallas Desire name, at Dr Pepper Arena. The Las Vegas Sin then suspended operations.[103] A team was also added for New England bringing the league's total to eight teams.
During the season, New England was forced to forfeit its final game as injuries caused the team to have below the minimum number of players needed to field a team. Seattle won a three-way tie with Dallas and Los Angeles for the best record in the Western Conference while Chicago had the best record in the Eastern Conference. Chicago and Atlanta advanced to the playoffs in the East while Seattle and Dallas advanced in the West. Chicago and Seattle won their Conference Championships and advanced to the Legends Cup in a rematch of both the previous championship and a meeting earlier in the season though with the opposite result of those two prior matches. The season ended on August 27, 2016, with the Chicago Bliss defeating the Seattle Mist 31–26 to win their third Legends Cup. The championship game was played at WestWorld in 斯科茨代尔 (亚利桑那州).[104]
2017
[编辑]The 2017 season began with new teams at Pittsburgh and Denver replacing New England and Dallas. Three teams (Chicago, Los Angeles, and Seattle) completed the regular season with perfect 4–0 records, a first in LFL history. Chicago and Atlanta advanced to the playoffs from the East while Seattle and Los Angeles advanced in the West. Atlanta upset Chicago in the Eastern Conference Championship, their first victory against the Bliss following seven consecutive defeats. In a war of unbeatens, Seattle bested Los Angeles in the Western Conference Championship. The season ended on September 3, 2017, as the Seattle Mist beat the Atlanta Steam 38–28 in the Legends Cup, played at the Citizens Business Bank Arena in 安大略 (加利福尼亚州), to cap off their perfect 6–0 season to go with their second LFL title.[105]
2018
