		<description>Yes and No.  The German soccer players choose to appear on Playboy, fine.  They feel comfortable enough to showcase their female body, they are not forced,  I do not consider Playboy to exploit women.  

It&#039;s different from appearing covered up in Hijab or any other muslim attire to keep with their &quot;religious freedom&quot;.  If anything, the exploited ones are the muslim athletes who will probably suffer terrible consequences if they refuse to cover themselves.  A private sports organization does not have to conform to any &quot;religious tradition&quot;.

The LFL is sad.  THAT is also exploiting women, and they take advantage of females that want to play football. 

Now consider this: Football, Basketball, Tennis, Car Racing, Rugby, Cricket, Baseball, College Footbal/Basketball/Tennis/Baseball, Track and Field, Soccer (which out of all the sports mentioned, has leagues per continent AND per country).  These sports are mainly played by men... In order to increase the viewership for the female counterpart of these sports, the owners, EVEN WOMEN, are willing to do whatever it&#039;s necessary.  It&#039;s always about the money.  For good or Worse.</description>
