Slog - Comments on This Weekend: Naked Gay Soccer http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/08/naked_gay_soccer Well, not entirely naked (though the organizing group did supply me with a photo racy enough to require placement behind a jump). At tomorrow's Shorts vs. Shirts game, Rain City Soccer players will either be topless or bottomless, but not—NEVER!—both. As Rain City says: "Shirts vs Shorts, what the hell is that?"...It's a soccer game, in the heart of Capitol Hill, in the middle of summer, where you can either wear a shirt, or you can wear shorts, but you can't wear both. Team Shirts team can wear normal underwear, jocks, thongs, whatever as long as it shows off...

Sounds like there could be a lot of sporty gays lying on the ground, curled into fetal positions, writhing in pain.

Is that what you-all consider "fun" nowadays?

Three words that are good individually, but great when put together...

And there will also be some guys there who perfectly fit the dominant gay male aesthetic paradigm. The good news is, the players probably don't care what each other look like as much as the spirit and camaraderie each brings to the team. This game sounds fun and I bet an old sourpuss like you won't help is be a success. Snap!

Bryan Adams for Everyone! @13 -- Hooray for you! While you were rating people's physical perfection based on an unoriginal, common scale, about 25 guys had a great time and thrilled the spectators with some very good footy. You = bitter. Teams = happy.

So very sorry.

Thanks for coming out. The sun came out 10 minutes before our game thus proving God loves gay naked soccer. Lots of fun was had by folks both on and off the field. Thanks for coming to the Elite too for drinks and pizza.

This was more about being silly and having fun though there are definitely some pictures from the event that will end up on my screen saver. Next year, we'll try to get a DQWM (drag queen with mic) to ref.

Cheers and thanks again. It was great to see as many people as we did on our first year of this. See you all next year :)
